Today is the 48th anniversary (Nov. 24,1969) of the date my aircraft, C-130A tail number 56-0533, was shot down over Ban Salou, Laos during a Blind Bat flare mission.

All aboard were lost:
Capt Earl C. Brown Aircraft Commander
1Lt Peter R. Matthes Co-Pilot
Maj Michael D. Balamoti Navigator
Capt Richard O. Ganley Navigator
SSgt Donald L. Wright Flight Engineer
SSgt Larry I. Grewell Loadmaster
Sgt Rexford J. DeWispelaere Loadmaster
SSgt Charles R. Fellenz Illuminator
