I don't think I've ever posted here. I wasn't in the Wing, in fact I was an 0311 Ground Pounder and squad leader in Nam. But I do remember all the flights into hot LZ's and being pulled out from the field by 46's and 53's.
I spent most of my time in Ch-46's. I was always glad to see those birds bring in supplies and pull us out after a long operation or out of a bad day. I remember Purple Foxes the most.
My Brother was with Mag 16 and flew with HMM 364 I believe as a Crew Chief 1969-1970. He was a Sergeant and his name is Victor Sanchez Jr. He's still around and kicking and just retired from General Mills in Aurora IL.
I've just added a link for this site to my new site called "Vietnam I Corps Marine 1965-1975."

I'll try to stop by more often and visit with you all! Great site and great history. I'm glad it's here on the net and will always be here as a reminder of the great things out Marine Corps Air Wing and Combat Air Crews have done for our Corps and the Nation.
Semper Fi!

Just checking in
Gunny, thought maybe you could have been flown by our Squadron, HMM-265as well, but we left Country the end of September '69. I'll have to check your site out. Have good ones. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.

morning Marines
Gunny, its been a nice cool day here in the South-east Ok., as well. Its 70 on my porch right now. i do believe since the coolness has come a good month maybe and a half early, its going to be a winter with many days of snow on the ground. It was 45 years ago, we had snow on Halloween. I believe its getting back into that cycle again. The Last week of Dec., especially the 30-31st, we had 10-12 degree weather. Thats why I believe we will have many days with 6-8 inches of snow all over the place. Most likely State wide. Have good ones. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.

Welcome Gunny
Hi JJ, just knew you were being kept busy doing something. Think I'd rather be moving GrandKids and all, than mowing yards. I haven't heard of an earth quake yet. I have a feeling they will increase in a year or so. Have good ones all. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.

welcome Gunny
JJ, seems like we did have the ground shake a bit the other day. I saw a video on tv, but it was off by the time I was close enough to hear it. It hasn't come on again, but looked like it was shaking up pretty good. I was in a bad one in Iwakuni in '68, and the telephone poles were bout to break off. I was thinking,' Oh my goodness'. Well it was a bit more precise than that, but I was concerned. I like those bout as much as I do the tornadoes. Have good ones all. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
