  9. Rest in peace walter, I met walter at Gia Lam Airport in north vienam when the POW`s were being released in 1973. He was inside the airport buying N. Vietnam postage stamps. The stampes were printed with a B-52 on them going down in flames. He got about four sheets, I did have two stamps but they got lost over the years.:)

    Tdy's

    Well Eddie I guess you and I were on the same mission just a little time diffents. we stayed at ascension Island for three days waiting for the CIA to clear out of the congo. I hated that TDY.

    Tdy's

    It hard to pick the best tdy. I will tell about my worst one. pope AFB. 66 or 67 not real sure, Alert horn go off, we go thru mobilty, grab my bag out of the car, not allow to make a phone call to the wife. About 4hrs. later we took off maxed out with maint. troops an spare parts there were two other acft. with us, they were loaded with 82nd. troops. After we got airborne we were told where we were going, The congo for at least 30 days, got there four days later, had to let the CIA pull out. we had cots in a hanger, no hot water an c-rations. the army was sleeping on the ground and guarding the three acft. only spent one nite in that hanger,they were big ass rats and spiders in the rafters, slept in or on top of the plane the rest of the TDY. On the way back to pope stopped at McDill for customs one of the duds (army):mad::mad: got busted trying to get a duffel bag full of pot thur. So we were there all nite, every body got striped searched, went thru all the bags and all the tool boxes, pulled out some of the Insulation.
  21. Looks like I did about 90% of those. Never had a gun trigger and QA I guess was QC and never put tail pipe smoot on my boots,but have been know to paint them. That a great list thought.
