Hello to all,
It has been a while since I have been on here and I just wanted to try and encourage all to offer/give any support you can to this Web Site. I know I have done this before but Joe and Tom could always use your input. I know too that there are at least a few who have a personal experience story they could share. Also I know that our time to do this is fast growing short, I myself who was a youngster of 28 during my time during the Phyllis Ann Project in 1966/67 but now a little older, be 82 in another 28 days. And now again, as I have been saying since my Retirement almost 45 years ago, 'My tour with the EC-47 Mission was the BEST YEAR of my 20 Year Career'.
Thanks Again, James C. 'J.C.' Wheeler Flight Mechanic 361st TEWS 114 Missions

A well done project
Thank you

Do you have a newsletter/mailing list?
I was a navigator with the 362 TEWS from Sep 1968 to Sep 1969.
A lot of water under the bridge after that.
C-141 navigator at Dover, De. C-130A navigator in Reserves at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan. F-4 WSO in ANG also at Selfridge, F-16 Maintenance Squadron commander, and C-130E navigator. 'Retired' after 31 years in 1998 and enrolled Lutheran seminary in 1999.
Won't bore you anymore but would like to hear about others. Was good friends with Jim Harwood when we were at Dover but lost contact after. Still hear from Tom Brown occasionally.
Heard there was a 'reunion' well after it happened. I didn't know there was any following for the EC. If I ever mention it, which is almost never, people think AC.

Read Larry Lane's email to the Prop Wash Gang about the Paver Project. How about a link for it.
Flew with the 6988 on missions out of Danang on TDYs Sep 65 - Dec 67 as Chiling.

For Ed Johnson:

Please pass along our greetings to Sabrina Redman. Over the last five years, the EC-47 History Site has hosted Vietnam War Commemoration ceremonies honoring family members of veterans who lost their lives during the war and are listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Sabrina is eligible for the Commemoration In Memory Gold Star lapel pin and Certificate of Honor program. Please tell Sabrina that we would love to assist her in remembering her dad through the Certificate of Honor program. Our sister website http://www.vietnam50thcpp.com/in-memory-of has much information that may be of interest to her. For more information, contact me directly at: [email protected] and we will follow up. Thanks for this opportunity to communicate with Sabrina.

I was a pilot in the 362 TEWS from September 1969 thru September 1970 at both Pleiku and Da Nang. I arrived as a 2nd Lt and left as a 1st Lt. CAP 53 remains, forever, in my memory. I went on to fly for both the Air Force and the airlines. I retired as a Lt Col from the Air Force and as a Captain for the airlines. I still work for the airlines as a flight crew training instructor. I credit the great crew members and the EC-47 as being the foundation to my aviation career. This site is a great resource and is a logical extension of the original website.

I was in the 361st, 69-70, at both Nha Trang and Phu Cat. I recently heard from Sabrina Redman, the daughter of TSGT Sylvester (Red) Redman, the flight engineer who was on Prong 33 which we lost in October 1969. If any of you would like to pass comments to Sabrina, please email them to me and I will pass them on.
Sabrina never knew her Dad, she was born in August 69 and he was KIA the following October, a month before DEROS.

I was a 292x1 on the EC-47, flying missions out of Pleiku, and, later, PhuCat from Oct. 69 - Oct.70...Times that will be with me forever.
