Very good friend of mine flew A-1 Skyraiders in that area about the same years you were there. Remember seeing any "sandy's" flying around when you were there?

Man, what memories!
"Sandy"...call-sign for rescue chopper escort cover. Yep.
A-1E, the "Flying Dump Truck"...what a load they carried, eh? Large ordnance loads and BooCoo gas.
Another Pelican comes here now/then, BBakerBiggs...he flew A-1E low support in VN the same time I was there.
Awarded a few medals his own self. Like me, he doesn't talk much about the fun times.
He, BBB, flew low support for me here last week
on a thread.
Turns out the other poster was jesting.
Small world, Joe.
Be safe.
