I was up at Quang Tri as a crew chief with HMM-262 in 68/69 and it was officially “Provisional” MAG 39 comprised of VMO-6, HMM-161 and HMM-262.

The visions galley on the website here has pictures posted from all the squadrons and if you go through those three you will find photos from then.

Awesome, thanks @Dale-A-Riley 

Also, if you have any interesting personal stories or general info about the "Provisional" MAG, we appreciate hearing about it. Info is relatively sparse and we're trying to get a feel for what it was like out there. 

I sent out a message to a couple pilots, I think the squadron CO went to group to finish his tour but unfortunately he has passed.  
 My only contact with group was in the middle of one night as I sat on a table at Quang Tri med after going down in Loas and sitting on a table with a couple corpsmen checking me over and treating my leg when all of a sudden someone is standing right in front of me, I pick my head up and see a full bird Colonel offering me a smoke.  I took it and put it to my lips, he flicked his zippo and I leaned forward to get a light but the flame kept moving and moving, I sat back up straight and remember looking at him confused and then leaning forward again to try and get the cigarette lit but the flame was still moving uncontrollably.  He grabbed my arm and held it steady as I inhaled  and sat back when I realized it was me shaking so violently. He moved on and the the corpsman said that was the new group CO, Colonel Edward A. Parnell.
