I was in the 38th from 67-Feb 69. We pulled a TDY to Tachikawa, Japan right after the USS Pueblo was captured by the No. Koreans. Didn't stay ther long as we deployed to Nha Trang for 3 months and then to Cam Rahn Bay for 3 months. Some of the tail numbers you got for the 37th in 72 were. in fact, original 38th birds from 67 and 68. Can't attest to more then that as I separated in Feb 69. Also saw a post about Herky Hill at Cam Rahn - that may refer to the wooden barracks built for us in 68. I recall a water tower and a lot of sand! Those barracks were on a hill (sort of anyway!)
BTW - I was Inertial and Radar Nav systems repair in the 38th. Don't know if we crossed paths at Langley or not.
