moosemodeler Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Did the 37th TAS use this design while with the 316th TAW at Langley in the early 70's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 moose, That's the one. Wore it myself for a couple of years. To the best of my knowledge its still in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The first patch that I got when I checked in to the 37th was exactly like that except it had 37th TCS on it. About 6 months later we all had to take them off and put on the patch you have above. BTW the 316 TAW Langley Reunion 17 to 21 OCT at Wright Patt at the AF Museum. The AF Museum has just opened a new building, its 4th, and we will be dedicating a memorial bench to the 316th in the Air Force Garden of Remembrance. It would be great to have a large group there.

moosemodeler Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Larry & Bob, Thank you both for the reply's and info !! It helps a lot .. I am working on building a collection of the TAC C-130 that deployed or sent crews to SEA in 1972-73. Especially interested in early 73 and airlifts into Cambodia and the FOL at U-Tapao.. I already have era correct examples from the 37th, 38th, 61st, 772nd, 773rd. Hoping to find a nice older 40th TAS, I am pretty sure the sent awads crews to CCK/U-T to support the Easter Bunny force. Not sure about the other 2 Pope squadrons, the 39th and 41st .. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 When we, the 37th, went back to CCK in late October early November 1972, we flew over on C-141's and we replaced the 36th TAS and used their airplanes and brought them back to the US in April 1973. I know the 36th and 37th from Langley were there. I don't think the 38th was. I remember on the flight over Col Billy Norwood was on the flight with us. He was going over to check on his AWADS crews from Pope. There also was a Dyess squadron with us at CCK. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36TASMO Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I remember Col Norwood from Langley when he was the vice commander. I was the M.O. on a training deployment to nellis and Fallon NAS and I had just been promoted to Capt. I offered some unsolicited advice and he gave what turned out to be the best butt chewing I ever got in 30 years-- that reaming lasted a long time---needless to say, I never again did the unsolicited advice routine.

moosemodeler Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Bob, A few other questions ... I am sure this is, but is always nice to get confirmation from someone who was there. Correct 36th TAS for 72/73 as well ? Also other then the Vietnam/Cambodia airlift, did the deployed crews also fly the wings other missions ? The Klong Hopper, SEA Shuttle ( I think that is what it was call ) in the region. ( Okinawa, Guam, Korea, Taiwan ect ) .. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 36TAS was there from May/Jun 72 until we, 37TAS, relieved them Oct/Nov72 to April 73. We flew all the normal wing missions in addition to the in country trips. Our in country trips were flown out of NKP and U-tapao. My crew also flew Klong shuttles, trips to Diego Garcia and Mauritius and the Bob Hope Christmas show in 1972. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The 38th was formed at Langley after the 37th Got back. I was transferred to the 38th at that time. Never went to CCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
