Insp807

I don't think so. We took the aircraft over from Wright-Patterson to Saigon. I believe it was either the first or one of the first in SEA. The call sign was Headshed and we sat pretty alone on the ramp. If there were others we did not park together. The Abccc call sign project lists it being there in 1964 with Operation One Buck. It might have been but we went over during Rolling Thunder April to December 1965. Ken told me the mission ended in Jan.66 when he returned to the states. It was equipped like the others with external air scoops for the capsule and antenna etc. I did fly some with it and my flight log which I do have shows several combat entries on missions flown. Most of the time I was fixing it when it came in late and went out early. I was assigned to 314 OMS as all the crew chiefs were and I believe the flight crew was from the 314th. I appreciate your input as I am trying to jog some old memories, at the time I was 21 and everyone else was somewhat older than I. Thanks again, Jim

Would like any info on a C- 130 ABCCC I was sent to Tan Son Nhut in 1965 as the crew chief. I know it was used as a command ship for the air war and Rolling Thunder. The crew stayed downtown at the Majestic Hotel in Saigon by the river. The aircraft was parked across the runway for the main base. I know the bomb dump was behind us which wasn't a good feeling. Call sign of the aircraft was "Headshed". I was relieved in December 65 by Ken Moser who is a site member and we were assigned to the 314 TCW at Sewart, Tenn. which was moving to CCK Taiwan at the time. Looking for serial number and whatever happened to the bird. Both Ken and I were discharged in 1966 and I know a lot happened to the 314th after that. Thanks for any help and as a new member I love the website.
