I flew "Blindbat" missions in Laos and N. Vietnam in l965-66, was a Covey FAC at Khe Sanh, Dong Ha, and Kontum in l967, and flew Spectre Gunships in l971-72.
I would like to hear from the young marine that was suppose to fly with me over the hills of Khe Sanh during the original NVA attack in early '67. He missed the flight, but when I returned, I showed him the nasty results of AK-47 rounds through the back seat of my O-1E "Birddog".
Would also like to hear from the Spec Forces type that said he'd buy me dinner if I were ever in Ohio (don't remember the city), after we decimated NVA soldiers that were coming up after him. He was on top of a mountain a little west of Dak To II, in Laos. We'd flown the late night mission in the AC-130A, it was daylight, so we put both the 20mm gatlin guns and the 40mm guns on the line.
