Bob,
A few other questions ...
I am sure this is, but is always nice to get confirmation from someone who was there. Correct 36th TAS for 72/73 as well ?
Also other then the Vietnam/Cambodia airlift, did the deployed crews also fly the wings other missions ? The Klong Hopper, SEA Shuttle ( I think that is what it was call ) in the region. ( Okinawa, Guam, Korea, Taiwan ect ) ..

Larry & Bob,
Thank you both for the reply's and info !! It helps a lot .. I am working on building a collection of the TAC C-130 that deployed or sent crews to SEA in 1972-73. Especially interested in early 73 and airlifts into Cambodia and the FOL at U-Tapao..
I already have era correct examples from the 37th, 38th, 61st, 772nd, 773rd. Hoping to find a nice older 40th TAS, I am pretty sure the sent awads crews to CCK/U-T to support the Easter Bunny force. Not sure about the other 2 Pope squadrons, the 39th and 41st ..

Clark AB Navigator William Simon III
in C-130 Historical
Posted
Anyone here on the board serve at Clark with a navigator names William Simon III ? I am guessing during the 70's but possibly earlier...
I recently came into possession of one of his flight suits and hoping to learn a little more about him and his time in the C-130 at Clark.
