My name is Steven Leventen..my father was in Vietnam flew blind bat mission over how chi min h trail he passed away in may of 2018 retired col from airforce. He was Major George leventen when he was flying. My mother and I lived in Okinawa Japan at nahal. 1967 to 1970 at the time.

I was wondering if anyone flew with him and had pics to share. 

I was also at naha, lived off base, 68 69 while my father flew blind bat missions. I would love to show Dad pictures as well if there are any out there! I know he was pretty upset when he was first assigned as an observer and traded planes with a c130 that went down with a friend of his. He told me they could not go in for any recovery as very likely nothing to recover and over undisclosed area. He talks about being pretty good at getting flares out over targeted areas accurately. Then sounds like mission changed a bit and it was no longer flares. Any way could listen to him talk for hours of what he will talk about.

Do you know the names of the crew on this plane that went down? I believe my dad was to be on this fight and ended up on a second as observer after places traded.
