It is great to see some of the old stuff finally hitting the light of day. I made it to IFEL in New Haven '60-'61, Goodbuddy '61-'62 (ALK/AZK) and became an A203X1-2, Det.1 6927th RSM '62-'63, and Det.1 6988th SS '63-'64, all flying C-130Bs in Sun Valley II. Had great times (a few shaky ones too!). I'm hoping to find more of our old "gang" as I look around. Have found a few already. I will visit again and again! Best of everything in the world to all the old "Silent Warriors"!!!

Dowdle From: Carrollton, Texas Time: 2000-02-28 12:29:23 Comments: A very interesting and informative website containing information I have been seeking for many years! As a former C130 aircrew member with the 7406th SUPPRON (Rhein-Main AFB) from 1958 to 1961, I appreciate the tribute and recognition you have given to the crew of 60528. Although I had been in the squadron for a short time and only vaguely knew the crew, I'm sure they, like all the other Silent Warriors felt that they were "just doing their job" and never expected to be publicly recognized or even see acknowlegement of their accomplishments. Thanks for the time and effort you have put into this very informative website. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Bob Reneau From: Boone, NC. Time: 2000-03-15 07:36:49 Comments: I flew as instructor pilot/stan eval chief in the 7406th Support Squadron 1969-1973 Flew the A's and transitioned into the B's. I was also one of the original 6 pilots on the prototype AC-130 at Ubon 1968-69 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Gerald Szesko From: Chicago Time: 2000-04-14 15:02:14 Comments: I was amazed to find this site. I was ground crew in the 7406th Support Squadron from January 1960 through January 1963. The loss of 60528 was still on our minds then, especially when we launched missions from the base at Incirlik, Turkey. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: ray malloy From: Lynn, Ma.01905 Time: 2000-04-18 14:41:22 Comments: looking for old friends who served in the 6916th - Rhein-Main from 1967 - 69.
