Hello my name is George (Boo) Miller former Scarface pilot. I flew for VMO-3and HML-367 January 1968- March 1969.
I also served as a FAC with 1st Batt. 9th Marines (The Walking Dead) August to October 68
One of the members of the 1st Batt. 9th Marines Association has asked if I know what happened to the two pilots that he helped get out of an H46 that crashed while inserting 1/9 on the Dewey Canyon operation. He believes it was the second or third aircraft during the insertion. Apparently the aircraft burned after crashing.
I flew several missions in support of the Dewey Canyon operation but have no knowledge of the above described event.
If any of you have information please e-mail it to me so that I can pass it along.

It happened and Father Shea gave them their last rites. Never heard of any pilots getting out, but what do I know.
I was not there, but I have heard the story.
There was another chopper on Erskine that started a chain reaction by blowing a fire in a gun pit into some increments. The entire hill went up and Alpha 1/9 spent the night at the bottom of the hill without weapons.
