Major Marvin Eugene "Gene" Shoupe


Recommended Posts

Capt. Shoupe was my AC in the 779th at Pope. After I left the crew, he and our engineer, Don Sweet, went into the Sky Hook program:

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.
