New Year's Eve 1970, My "Alive Day" 41 years ago. Thank You! to Tyree, Ogre, Zero, and the staff at the 27th MASH. Hudon- You were a one-week-in-the-AO FNG and got your cherry popped when your AC got hit. Thank's for recovering the bird and flying us back.

I was sent to the 176 TDY from the 101st when the 176 moved from Duc Pho to the Sand Ramp at the north end of Chu Lia as a mechanic (I was hoping to fly) So I also started filling in as CE on slicks,in a few months I had my own ship in 1st Flt. In Dec.67 the 101st recalled me at that time I extended my tour to transfer to the 176,I returned to the 176 early March 68,and took over as CE of Musket 605 from Oberfield and crewed it until I ETSed out of the Army in October 68.It would be great to hear from any of you guys from back in the day

I was a Huey Gunship Pilot and trying to locate a crew member and would appreciate any help and assistance anyone may have. Crew member SP4 Dave W. Kinard, served 67 - 68 with 176th. Assault Helicopter Co.. Thanks..... Chuck

Served in country with the 198th. L.I.B. 1/6th. Inf. 1967 - 1968. Located around Chu Lai at LZ's Bayonet, Doty, and Baldy. I've become good friends this past summer with W.O. Chuck Canfield, who flew Musketball ships 67 - 68. We met at our Howard County Vietnam Veterans Reunion, here in Indiana this past Sept. That was a real treat.......... Thanks to all you pilots for all you did and to your crews ..........

The Kitchen Table Gang Trust is a rag-tag bunch of military types trying to make life a little more pleasant for our hospitalized veterans at VA Hospitals throughout the United States and our soldiers & Marines deployed overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.

These guys are doing some wonderful things for our veterans and our troops overseas, and it all started with a poker game. (They donated a portion of the pot to help veterans and our active-duty troops – are you doing anything that cool with your Texas Hold ‘Em obsession, hmm?) These great guys will tell you all about it on their site, and they’ve got lots of suggestions on how you can express your gratitude to our brave men and women deployed overseas. Who knows, they might even be able to help you!

Thank you very much!

I don't visit this site much, but for some reason did so tonight only to see Serena McIntosh's email regarding the passing of her Stepfather, Ed Doyle.

Ed was my Crew Chief for my entire tour (1970 - MM15). He was a first class guy and good friend that year. Ed, Jay and I were the team that flew "In a Gadda da Vida" until we lost her in Laos only to be replaced by "Junior".

I was shocked to hear of Ed's passing and can only send my most sincere condolences to Serena and all of Ed's family. I certainly won't forget Ed!!!

God Speed Ed!!!

Hello all. First, let me say THANK YOU.
I'm looking to connect with anyone that served with and might have known James (Jimmy)Dunnavant, Jr. He was a Warrant Officer who died in July 1970 in South Vietnam - Quang Tin Province.
He would have been my Uncle and I'm just looking to maybe say hello to those that knew him.
From my research, two other members of his helicopter crew survived: W.J. Horvay and their Commander.
Tail Number 65-09563

Thank you!

restoration of 069 is close to being finished. a/c to move from montana to nampa id this weekend for dedication ceremony on 30 july.

Gentlemen of the 176 AHC,

My name is John Brennan, and I am the author of, "U.S. Army Helicopter Names In Vietnam" book from Hellgate Press. The listed price is $31.95, however, you may obtain a signed copy for $29.95, shipping included, by sending a check or money order to: John Brennan, 17355 Via Annette, San Lorenzo, CA 94580

P.S. Listed in the book are 46 copter names attributed to the 176 AHC
P.P.S You are welcome to preview the first 20 pages by accessing the publisher's website at www.hellgatepress.com and clicking on the .pdf hyperlink

Just a reminder, this is a two book series, this first one lists all of the named Army helos in Nam. The next one will feature beautiful nose art mostly, and several dozen anecdotes. They are a tandem set that go hand-in-hand and compliment each other.

I started out as a G on a slick in 1970, then went to the Guns after crashing near a firebase, got my "bracelet", I still have it and my patch. I was on 534 with Pete until he left and I was made CE, Flew the unauthirized "fly-by" when we stood down. Great memories of some great soldiers, Cpt Furiegh's reply to a AMC to cease fire after we returned fire in a "no fire" zone still rings in my ears. I miss you all and think of the Muskets all the time.

Hi,

The 176th supported the 1st. Bde. 101st Abn. In Apr.1967 a Danny Fuller and I flew to Viet Nam together. I was assigned to the 2/502nd at Duc Pho and Danny was on the other side of the hill with the 176th. gunner or crew chief don't remember.

Can anyone help me out here getting in contact with him??? I think he was from MD and the ship's name was weezie.
I have slides.

Please contact Bill Bernardini
803-827-0500 or 803-270-5957 (cell) anytime.
