V.W.Hazelbaker,1966/7 S-3 VMO-2 Has lost the E-Mails paperwork collected during the Reunion last August in Fort Worth. We made stops in Fl., Wisc and Nev. and now I can't locate anything.(old age)
My log book records 8 Aug. 1966 with bu.#'s 151290 for1.5 hrs.;151879 for 2.0 hrs.;151290 for .6 hrs; 152424 for 7.8 hrs; and then back to 151290 for .5 hrs. and 151290 under Remarks is written, "Shot down in zone". Ortiz was crew chief and McKay was gunner. I met the crew chief of 152424 that I spent most of afternoon and night of 8 Aug 1966 with at the Reunion and can't remember E-mail or name. Robinson was the gunner. We switched aircraft around midnight and 151290 was hit on the rotor mast with a rocket propelled grenade as we were unloading amunition. I was wondering also if the bird was placed back into service.
Sure like to have all the E-mails addresses that again and names I collected last August and lost.
My E-mail is nan-wayne@hawaii.rr.com. Tele-808-254-4249. We have a house in Kailua, Hi. set up for visiting grandkids. Squadron mates are welcome to stop over when visiting the Islands.
