I was at Danang as a 20250 from Dec 71- Oct 72

A re-do of my initial reply to Bob Bergstrom: Attached is a summary from 'Vietnam Air Losses' by Chris Hobson. It's probably about as much as we'll be able to find.

Hi, I am helping the brother of a VR-7 C-130 co-pilot who was lost in a crash in Vietnam on June 17th 1966 (took off from Cam Ranh Airport and flew to the former Cape Varella lighthouse (Mui Dien), 2.5 miles offshore of which the aircraft exploded and hit the water). Does anyone have any recollection of this area and if there was antiaircraft fire from the cape? The accident report just says they think hostile fire brought it down but there is no reference to actual gun fire in the report being seen.

Thanks

Bob Bergstrom

Capt., USAF, Aircraft Commander, 360th TEWS, TSNAB, September 1970 to June 1971. Previous SEA duty as co-pilot on KC-135 flying out of U-Tapao Air Base, Thailand and Kadena AB Okinawa - TDYs in 1968, 1969 and 1970.
I loved flying the workhorse EC-47, some of which were built pre WWII, though transitioning from a 500 MPH aircraft to the C-47 cruise speed at 105 knots was a minor challenge! :-) The 360th TEWS was a great outfit to be a part of - great leaders and memorable fellow crew members.
