55-517CC

I was assistant on 0517, Joe Straits was CC, Nose art was Rum Runner. I also remember Charlie Spotter, I forgot it’s tail number. This was in late ‘69 early ‘70. At that time all of the Blind Bat aircraft were All black. The nose art didn’t last but a few months.

All that started officially after I left Naha. We weren't allowed to have nose art when I was there '67-'68 but I did name my aircraft "Sonny's Honey". It was just a stencil I made and painted next to the crew entrance door

I was an assistant CC on 56-517 Blind Bat aircraft in '69 - '70. At times the Blind Bat aircraft were assigned the Frantic Goat mission on tdy from Naha. I was on two such deployments to Ubon inaddition to the Blind Bat deployments.
