Check my website for texcentrading co, if interested or email me at emilb@earthlink.net. Be sure to put "patches" somehow in the subject line so I know I want to read it. Otherwise, you will join all of the Canadian meds stuff I get. Got a bunch you are stuck with and want to sell, let me know. Do you remember the place that made your patches, please write to tell me, they likely made others and I may be able to pick up some for our buddies. All the best. <br>Emil http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1281826133 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1281826133&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1281826133 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:48:53 -0400 DON&#039;T FORGET YOUR LOVE TO THE BRILLIANT , CARING VINCE DIPERSIO <br> <br>THANK YOU VINCE, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BRING THIS ALL TOGETHER <br> <br>;) http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1280376647 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1280376647&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1280376647 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:10:47 -0400 Great history here ,nice to come read. http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1278519912 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1278519912&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1278519912 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:25:12 -0400 Didnt know about this website until Jimmy Burns who I hadnt seen in 40 years showed up at the Jolly reunion.

I was in the 5th grade when he retired from the Air Force in 1975. <br> <br>If anyone has any photos or additional stories about him or his craft, I would be incredibly thankful if you could send them my way. <br> <br>His obituary can be found at the Shreveport Times (unfortunately URL not allowed) http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1273203702 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1273203702&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1273203702 Thu, 06 May 2010 23:41:42 -0400 Hi J.D.

I have an "original" of that historical report, I think I typed it. Served with the 58th from Oct 1969 till the unit was de-activated after the coup. Ive been in contact with a few former members including Stephen Brodsky, Vince Deets, Bob Michelson. I&#039;ve tried to get in contact with CO William (Wild Bill) Lyell, he&#039;s down in Texas "pickin and grinen" with country fidlers, last I&#039;ve read. I sent Bob Michelson a bunch of photos last year, that in-flight refueling (HH-3E/HC-130) may have been one of mine. I have lots more photos which I would be happy to supply to the site if someone will tell me where to send them. I&#039;d be happy to hear from anyone, especially John Paton or Joe Brochu.

June 28 ,tonight 7/3 i was sitting on my deck watching the fireworks a chopper flew over &amp; my thoughts immediately went to Jim . We first met at Stead AFB in early 1962 Jim was on the H-19 flt line &amp; I was on the H-43 flt line so we didn&#039;t hook up much. In 1964 we both ended up at WPAFB, both being low rank &amp; just starting our families we became good friends . We would get together at one another&#039;s house have dinner &amp; play cards. In 1965 I left the AF &amp; Jim continued his career in the AF we we got together a couple of times &amp; Jim &amp; Carol spent a couple of days with us when he came back from NKP.We lost track of one another until 2007 when another rotorhead Don Hoge found the Rotorheads RUS website &amp; got in touch with Jim &amp; gave him my phone #. Jim gave me a call &amp; invited us to come visit them, we were able to get together in June 2007 &amp; had a wonderful weekend with them .We got together a couple of times after that &amp; right before before Xmas 2008 Ron Feight ,Dick Kenuzli &amp; myself &amp; our wives got together at Jim &amp; Carol&#039;s for dinner and a day of remembrance Jim I still don&#039;t remember what we were doing with that gal of yellow paint . But I&#039;am very proud to call you a friend.

It was a great run and I wish we could all do it over again. LBRs were the pits but flying the HH-43 was really great. The heavies finally gave us a chance to get away from the home field and find out what real flying was all about. Great website. <br>Covey Campbell http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207574047 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207574047&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207574047 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 09:14:07 -0400 Hello all you rotorheads and welcome home to the Vietnam vets among you!! <br>I was a pilot with the 37th ARRS at DaNang (with frequent alert intervals at lovely Quang Tri) in 1968-69 and proud of that squadron and the guys who made it great. Best of luck to you all. http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207348775 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207348775&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207348775 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:39:35 -0400 From Nov. 1966- Nov. 1967 I was a pilot assigned to the 20th Helicopter Sqdn. at Udorn. Contrary to the article on the "20th Helicopter Squadron", under "Sites of nterest", all of the helicopters had been upgraded from C to D models( engine conversion) prior to my arrival. http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207074585 http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207074585&comments=comments http://rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1207074585 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:29:45 -0400 Was browsing your web pages and found a picture of my father, Homer Gaouette III.
