  1. The pictures I have are on slides; I will get them converted to prints and digital then try again. It was the left side that suffered most of the damage but I can see shrapnel messing up wiring in the hog trough. Best I remember, someone on the ramp said it happened at kontum and the loadmaster was killed. It could have happened eartlier than Nov and the plane was sitting at TSN for awhile before I saw it. BTW Gary, did you know a maintenance officer at Naha whose last name was Ray. Was probably a Maj or LTC.
  2. I was looking through some pictures I took in Vietnam 69-70 and I came across some pictures of an A Model that I think was parked in a revetment at TSN. This was in Nov or Dec of 69. I did not get the tail number. The left side of the aft fuselage, left gear area and left wing/flap looked like swiss cheeze from a rocket or mortar that had exploded near the left paratroop door. Anybody have any info on what plane this was and the story behind it?
  3. Hello all, Just discovered this site and thought I would see if anyone was in the 774 TAS at Clark when we lost a bird in Vietnam in Oct 69. In particular, interested in who the crew members were because I am making A trip to DC soon and would like to find their names on the wall. Cause of the crash was thought to be an inflight explosion possibly due to sabatoge. If any members recognize my name, send me a hello email. John Henley
