Sonny Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Today is the 50th anniversary (Nov. 24,1969) of the date my plane, C-130A tail number 56-0533, was shot down over Laos during a Blind Bat flare mission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I remember when that happened. By that time I was at CCK but I think I was on a CRB input when I heard about it. It brings back old memories doesn't it? Makes me remember the 40 missions I was on the year before at that same month, and not even worrying about one of those 37's or 57's ever hitting us. Almost nightly. Being young and dumb helped though.😀 That old bird lived a long time and flew a lot of miles/hours before that night though.

Nahadependent Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Do you know the names of the crew on this plane that went down? I believe my dad was to be on this fight and ended up on a second as observer after places traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
