SamMcGowan Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Was he assigned to the 36th TAS 1968-1970 time frame? Not that I know of. He went into the C-130E-I program at Pope after I left for Naha in early 1966 and as far as I know he stayed in it until he retired. He went to Germany in the early 70s.

Thanks, I was also in Germany in the early 70s that must be where I know him from - certainly a fine gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
