Name: Bob "Doc" Kilpatrick Website: Referred by: Word of Mouth From: East Hampton CT Time: 1998-07-22 21:16:47 Comments: Carl, this site keeps getting better... a lot better, and it was great before; terrific. I was 1st Flight slick CE, flew with AC Mike Bonthuis on 834, late '68 to June '69. Just hooked up with Mike for the first time since we left; also pilots Bob Paine, David Maib, Ed Ferguson, allstar gunner Eggy, nomad Jake, Mike "Shakey" Curran, my pal Al Mixer, many others. We're still looking for Davey Silk, Frakes... Lammers... Johnson... Ti Ti... many others... We are making progress here. That picture of the legs out the right side of 834... I think I took the picture, so the legs may be Bobby Copher, my first gunner, the guy who trained me to fly as crew chief. Thanks again, Carl. |

I was a member of the 509th Engineer Co (Panel Bridge) in '68-'69 which was located on Engineer Hill, just down the road from Hollaway. We visited Holloway frequently for supplies, banking transactions, etc. and of course the steam baths and massage parlor. Going to to Holloway was almost like going back to the World with real streets, sidewalks, and lawns. It did change a bunch from the '64 inception. Again Thanks. |

I have talked to Vern several times before. I was trying to track down some info on some events that happened while in Pleiku. I have been trying to find my air medals. When I was about to ETS I left the Delta and flew back up to Holloway to turn my stuff in. I was told that all my medals had just been shipped south but I never got them. My home page has a bunch of photos from Holloway including some of the 122 hits. If you have never seen a Cobra with 250 Lb bombs then check out the photo's on my home page. |

I served with the 119th from Nov 66 - Nov 67 mostly in the 1st flight platooon and during the last half of the tour as Gator 4. I was pleased to see the handi work of Terry Muldoon and myself was included. We were the origintors of the Gator Patch. The flight platoons had no patch except the 119th Company patch and the Crocs had theirs. Terry sent the drawing to his dad and he sent back US made patches,decals, and even stationary. The yellow background was 1st Plt and blue was 2d Plt. Once again great job and if any Gators have plans to be in DC Memorial day for Rolling Thunder get in touch and we will get together. |

Name: Lou Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: New York Time: 1998-02-18 15:25:00 Comments: I was in the Pleiku area 70-71. First with the 509th Combat Engineers, Waite Davis, and Lonely. Then the with 35th Advisory Group. Made it in to Holloway a couple of times on pass, and once while AWOL, (Hey, we were bored, and there was this convoy. . .) got tot ally drunk at the NCO club each time. (Don't do that no more!). Anyone from the 604th re- member rigging up some 7.62 mini-guns on our APC, and jeep? Worked great, but had a hell of a time keeping antennas, and if you fired broadside going flat out it would actually push you sideways in the opposite direction that you fired from! How about some one from the 509th, 35th, Davis, Lonely, Phu Nhon? Thanks, God Bless. |

Name: CW4, Ret, Don Joyce Website: Sunridge Referred by: Other Vietnam Site From: Poinciana, FL Time: 1998-02-15 21:33:00 Comments: I was assigned to the 179th ASHC "Shrimpboats" at Camp Holloway from Jan '67-Jan '68. Besides flying the CH-47A for 1100 hours that year, I flew the 52nd's U-6A on missions to Saigon and other bases. As a RW & FW Instrument Flight Examiner, I flew with many of the pilots from all the units....renewing "tickets". The aerial photo was great....even could make-out my "hooch"! I planted the bananna trees in the 179th Officer's open area across from the "O" Club....understand many of them were shredded during "TET '68", but probably grew back. I was a friend of CWO Holloway [I also flew CH-21's at Bragg and Belvior] and had lunch with him at Tan Son Nhut about a week before he was killed. I was over from Bangkok on a flight. CWO Bob Hillburn, also living in FL, has a Web-Page about the 179th, with links to all other Chinook units in Viet Nam. E-mail me and I will "forward" the page. A real GREAT job on putting this 52nd page together! I also belong to the 52nd/Camp Holloway Association and AAAA, USAWOA and VHPA....e-mail me for membership info in these associations. Our Florida LZ Chapter of VHPA is very active year-round, displaying our OH-6 and other VN items. We always need "help" with our activities! Welcome Home....Don Joyce, ACHPC 55-Fox, Rucker's 1st WOC Class. |
