[Vhfcn-l] TET

[Richard Lewis]

 Guess I am not too old to learn. Never suspected the army had any of these aircraft.

Back in 70/71 ferried TH-55s from Ft Wolters to the boneyard at Davis-Montham AFB.  Both times flew back as a pack on ARMY C-47s.

 The aircraft you saw really surprised me. can not imagine the army having those aircraft. I did fly on Carabuo (spelling) but soon after they were turned over to the AF.

 I think some might be surprised at what the Army flew. Had the privilege of seeing a couple of Army DC3s, one early on when at basic at Fort Polk. In Nam saw some army Neptune’s and old converted B25s at Nha Trang. They had been junked but did a double take first time I saw them.

 Flew DC-3 in the Army. Was this in WW2.?Richard lewisMsg, USA {ret} On Monday, January 27, 2020, 1:15:07 PM MST, Terry McCollum via Vhfcn-l wrote: Back years ago our little group of missfits called the Wyoming Association of Vietnam Veterans celebrated a TET Survival Party.  We held our gala event at a place named the GOLDEN DRAGON.  It was owned and operated by a family that had escaped during the period of the Killing Fields.  The owner and I were good friends, he had beena pilot in the Cambodian Air Force flying DC-3s and since that was the last airplane I flew an the Army we spent lotsof time talking about the old Gooney Bird.I hope you helicopter types wont mind my story about a great fixed wing.Terry McCollum_______________________________________________Vhfcn-l mailing listVhfcn-l at lists.vhfcn.orgThis message was delivered to richardlewis133 at yahoo.comhttp://lists.vhfcn.org/mailman/listinfo/vhfcn-l _______________________________________________Vhfcn-l mailing listVhfcn-l at lists.vhfcn.orgThis message was delivered to pbpilot27 at comcast.nethttp://lists.vhfcn.org/mailman/listinfo/vhfcn-l
