The beach below Herky Hill was great! Unfortunately, one day we found the water full of Portuguese Man-of-Wars! Nasty.

I take exception to Major Mills superficial and somewhat inaccurate description of fighter pilots! Myself, I characterize myself as a "blunt and ugly driver." I was fortunate enough to fly the C-130B, hauling trash in Vietnam; was an instructor pilot in the T-37 at Vance and Mather AFBs; and had two tours in the A-10 Warthog! I suggest that DJ get a pilot training slot anyway possible and once in a position to make a choice of big or little, do so. I would not, however, ever recommend that some become a lawn dart viper driver....Fly Safe, Clod

Ray, A CD would be great if you wouldn't mind. Mail to CT Sullivan, 2132 Beverly Beach Drive NW, Olympia, WA 98502. Thanks again and Fly Safe, Clod

INS/DooplerTroop, Thanks for the search. A couple of my friends brought copies home but....! Clod

Gentlemen, The TAD or Tactical Airdrome Directory was a booklet about the size of the US approach plate books. It had an airfield diagram and/or picture of every field in South Vietnam and the fields were listed by name and by "Victor" number. Very useful when you were being diverted! Clod :)

I am looking for a TAD (early 70s if possible). I did a Google search which turned me on to the Herky Birds site! Now I can't locate the thread discussion on TADs!! Anyone have one or a contact? Thanks! Clod:confused:
