Name: | Rich Wright rt66pony@yahoo.com | Entry: | I was looking up the crash in Durango of one of our MH-53s. I was on the crew (Medic with my Flt Doc, Dr. Sasaki) as we flew a C-130 up to Durango to conduct our mishap response for this crash. I had just re-enlisted after 9/11 and this accident occurred in Jan. One of the crew members on the MH-53 was a gunner and we became good friends after that accident. We all had lunch near the hospital in Durango at a small restaurant once everybody was cleared - don't remember the name, but they were nice and the food was good. I remember no one said a word for a long while and then one of the pilots cracked a joke and we all laughed. Some great folks flew in the 551st SOS back in those days. Thanks for keeping this history! | Date: | January 16, 2024 17:05 | |

Seldom do I come across a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something regarding this. scala bio promise protpo.teswomango.com/map16.php | Date: | October 22, 2021 22:47 | |

Name: | GORDON MORTON MORTON MOVED2AK@YAHOO.COM | Entry: | 50 years later, I am still thankful for the courage of all rescue flights. I was extracted from the Quang Tri Citadel, 1May'72, along with the rest of MACV TM155.
A few years back, I found the transcript of radio traffic of that rescue, as published in the Airman's Magazine. Unfortunately, I lost it and can no longer find it online.The PJ's had big brass ones.
Thanx again!! | Date: | August 05, 2021 1:00 | |

COMMENTS [ Posted by Jim Burns, March 31, 2021 15:10 ] That awe and admiration along with deep respect goes back at you. I flew with the 20th HS "Green Hornets" in 67-68 and the 21st SOS "Knifes" in 69-70 and know that more than once you A-1 drivers saved our butts. You, guys would be right down in the tree tops giving the bad guys all sorts of hell.
