My name is Mark Reynolds and I work with the AMCM Weapons System Training School in Norfolk. I've been working development of AMCM tactics since 1986, originally working for Teledyne Hastings-Raydist. I'm currently working on an AMCM history project to be regularly presented at the AMCM Advanced Tactics Continuum training course taught at Panama City, FL. I came across an archived 2004 popasmoke posting by Don Begley about an End Sweep DVD he produced from 8mm films he took with HMH-463 in 1973. Does anybody know where I could find a copy of this? As you may know, End Sweep was key in the development of AMCM and this would be great stuff to share with the AMCM community.
Have one somewhere
Don sent some of them to a few of us. If you can't get one from Don, let me know and I'll try to find my copy and get it to you. I think he was working on some more DVD's last time I had contact with him. Anyway, let me know if you need my copy.
John Van Nortwick...
...was the CO of the squadron for End Sweep.
He often checks in here. He should also be in the members list.
I submit that he would know the most about the operation.

End Sweep DVD
I am the WebMaster of the HMH-463 Web Site, and I have a copy of Don's DVD.
I'm sure that if you contacted him, he would be happy to provide you with a copy.
I have his e-mail addy and if you contact me offline, I'll provide it to you.
