Welcome to our guestbook, a space designed for connecting and sharing cherished memories. We invite you to take a moment to leave your mark on this memory journal.
I must be one of a few people who remember coming in country,Cam Ran Bay. Later to Can Tho and then to Soc Trang. I became a crew chief with the Soc Trang "Tigers", Tiger 10 was my UH-1H. I switched off with other crew chiefs to get more flying time and to learn how to fly the Huey's. I learn to fly UH-1D's and H's. I saw a great deal of combat in the 44th Special Zone along the cambodian border. I traveled far and wide to places like Bien Hoa, Ca Mau, Moc Hoa, Chau Doc, My Tho, Dong Tam, Rach Ga, Bac Lieu, Tra Vinh, Sa Dec, Long Xuyen, Saigon, and more places north around and above "Little Corpus Christie".
I served with Lt.Darling, pilot and CW04 Schmidt, they taught me how to fly Hueys. I served with David Zcerpicki, David Dela Peza, George Quackenbush, Dennis Wall, Richard Petty (CrewChief), Charlie Burgess, Charlie Martinez, Ruben Carbajal, Alejandro Rubidoueax, Danny Ramanski, to just name a few.
We saw Viet Cong kill themselves in suicide bombings through the constintina wire, monks setting themselves on fire, Bombings from B-52's, miniguns fired from Huey gunships, Loch's, and Puff. Motrar and rocket attacks that just rocked the Soc Trang camp. I spent a year and a half their. I remember the lousy guard duty and horrific hours in the hot weather working on the Huey's to get them washed, serviced, tested and flown on missions again. I found it better to talk about the experiences and let it go. How about those poisonous snakes, krates. And those pythons. Bugs everywhere and Momma Sans washing clothes. Just a few thoughts. Anyone serve in the Army Aviation 13th battalion, 121st Assault Helicopter Company.?
