Dave in WV Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Can anyone give me info as to what unit(s) these aircraft were assigned and the locations while in SEA and about how long they were in-country? I have prostate cancer (caught early enough to deal with) and it may sound like a reach connecting it to agent orange but if those birds were contaminated I worked on them from 75-80 as a CC and then from 81-85 as a FE. I'm thinking about filing a claim and even though I'll get turned down I have a paper trail started. I've been told if I was in-country to file a claim (I never went to SEA). There is no history of prostate cancer in my family on either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Ouch! I've got a little time a few years ago in (at least) 1787. Flew like a homesick angel. Anyhow, I hope everything works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 These birds were at CCK Taiwan in 72-73 with the 374TAS, they flew all over SEA out of Tan Son Nhut SVN and Utapho Thailand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I guess I can vouch for 62-1804 for 69 and 70. As far as I know, while I was with it, we didn't haul any Agent Orange. But then again, who knows what it carried while on mission "in-country" while I was getting my time off!!! So far, I haven't come down with any symptoms that would reflect on my 33 months over there!! By the way, 1804 was at CCK when I was on it!! Good luck with your claim.

Mt.crewchief Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Bob, 62-1804 was in the 314th TAW all of the time I was on it in 69 and 70. I left CCK in June 70! Probably just a typo??? Ken Edited September 21, 2010 by Mt.crewchief Making an unnecessary correction!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 314 was at CCK until 71, when they shut the A models down in Okinawa they moved the name of the 374 to CCK and the name of the 314th to Little Rock. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
