| Phu Bai was, indeed, FUBAR. I was TDY to the 138th as a RU8-D ARDF pilot during Lam Son 719 (early '71). We spent many hours in the skies over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos, the A Shau Valley, and the DMZ area. After Lam Son I returned to the 1st RR at Cam Ranh Bay where we continued to frag up over Tchepone and environs in the SP-2Es. I've got some great pics of Hue, the Trail, the A Shau, and the Dong Ha/DMZ area --- if you are interested. I have seven+ years until retirement as an airline pilot, I am an aviation writer, and I still do the dits and dahs as a Ham radio operator --- K9STR --- mostly QRP like the NVA! .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . / .... --- -- . / ... --- .-.. -.. .. . .-. ... ! |
