I was station in RTAFB Ubon, Thailand between Oct. 1968 thur Oct. 1969. I was just diagnosis diabetes mellitus,type II. I worked on the F-4's on the fuel system part of the fighter. I know our fighter flew in Vietnam all the time doing there mission's and I know they sprayed Agent Orange out back of C-130's all the time and we were all over our planes doing our job. We all probably came in contract with Agent Orange but did not know it. I flew on C-130's into and out of Vietnam but know to prove it. What I want to know has anyone came down with diabetes being station in Thailand?? I'm thinking about filing a claim with the Va. How long do the keep the manifest who flew as pac's on C-130's with the crew's.

I salute you and thank you very much for the information about the C-130 gunship. I saw ir all when it came in. It was a terrible sight to see. I'll never forget. Also saw a few F-4's to slide in.

I'm wondering if any body was Station in Ubon Thailand Airfield between 1968-1969 when a gunship crashed and burned at the airfield. I would like to know the tail no.
