Mt.crewchief Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I was thinking it would be nice to see if after all of these years there are still some guys out there that are still looking for some word about their old friends. Especially in the late 60's to the early 70's. You know, the guys from Naha, CCK. Ubon, Tachikawa, Clark, Max Tan etc. All were Viet Nam Veterans probably! Maybe we could post a pic or two ---if we still remember how!!! I will try 1st: I know all of these people Ken , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mt.crewchief Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Thanks, Sonny for your input! I knew you were still around. It would be great to know all of the young gentlemen pictured are still around. I have many more that I will try to post names with them.

nascarpop Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Not in your group of close friend's but was in the 41st out of Naha. One trip to Ubon and plane took a shell fire to right wheel well on second flight. Never had the chance to return, but did fly one time dropping flares! Many trips to CRB after that. Always on A models until I went to Pope. Now living in Arizona. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Dallas. thanks for replying to my query. What years were you stationed at Naha in the 41st. One of my classmates from Tech School was in the 41st while I was there in late 67 thru early 69. Of course I can't remember it now. I will see if I can post a pic of my class.. Also, there are probably several guys in my class that some you guys may know . If so, I would like to hear about them etc. I will attach a pic or two of my class as soon a I sign off! Also, I just remembered running in to a guy I graduated high school with. (1964) . His name is Larry Barndt and he was in charge of the 780 section or the other supply room at Naha. He had his wife there also. He is still kicking and lives in Wyoming. I will be back with a pic or two of my Tech School class. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mt.crewchief Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 I forgot to say I was at Naha from Sept. 67 to Mar. 69. Msgt. Andy Haskell was my boss. I was 3rd. Wiper on 56-475 . I will post some pics of my Tech School class and I do remember most of the guys. The one guy maybe 2 are Johnny Knebel and Harper were for sure at Naha, and I ran into some of the other guys at CRB for the rest of my tour. Chris Carter and I both volunteered to go to Ubon as crew members on a Blind Bat crew. (flare kickers). He and I are pictured on the left side of the crew . Me with the glasses andhe is the short one with his regular fatigues etc. I can give all of the rest of the crews names if need be. The pictures I hope to post now are of my tech school. Maybe !!! Until I get my shit together, I will have to post one of Ann Margaret with the Bob Hope show in either 67 or 68. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Just dropping by checking to see if anybody recognizes any of the fine looking Airmen of the late 60's thru 71. Also, I hope all of you guys have a nice Christmas and New Year. Ken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Do any of you guys remember a Ron Tennyson from Missouri. He was in my class and went to PI. Also in the picture is a Donald Fargnoli from New York I think. He was at Naha I think, but I never saw him but a few times. A guy named Ron Harper Was in the 817th . a Naha and a guy named Johnny Knebel was at Naha also. I am sure there are more of my class pictured were over there at the same time, Maybe Tachikawa. I used to run into guys I knew from Shepherd while at CRB quite often but wasn't sure what base they were from. I was at CRB almost every month for 29 months while stationed at CRB and CCK and 3 months at Ubon. One month I was at Naha full time I guess. Anyway my DD 214 shows 33 months total.

Mt.crewchief Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Trying to edit my post above. I meant stationed at Naha and CCK----not CRB. By the way Sonny, I will see what I can do about making some copies of the Keystone Kapers. Honest!!! Picture of my E Model I crewed at CCK taken years later while it was on a mission to New Orleans during Katrina. It was stationed at Little Rock at the time. It's next home base was the Boneyard.

Graywolf88 Posted February 18, 2024 Share Posted February 18, 2024 Yeah, I am still alive. CCK - did rotations to CRB, TSN, Utapao, Bangkok, NKP, extended TDY to Korea. Other places I don't even remember or want to remember. Most of the crew members that were at CCK with me are now gone. I was there from early 1970 - May 1973. 776 TAS Loadmaster.
