Skip Davenport Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Read The Book. Nice one guys. You Have The Balls To try. Hope i can buy you guys a cold one. Trev. Trev if you are talking about the book on Operation Eagle Claw (Desert One) the name is "The Guts to Try" by Col Kyle. "The Guts to Try" -- That was written on a napkin placed on a case of beer and given to the guys when they landed form the mission by the Marines.

Wil Sanchez Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Sorry to highjack this thread. Skip were you invovled with operation eagle claw? 62-1809 was my plane at Da Nang in 1967. She had the outer wing burned to the ground. After they fixed her up she continued to fly ABCCC missions for some time until her demise in Iran.
