Hi chris Dave suter just saying hi. Flew with you in Germany when you were my platoo officer. No email address yet. Phone 16302125902

I was an II with the 225th SAC at Phu Hiep/Tuy Hoa from July 69 to July 71. I was fortunate enough to quite a few missions with great pilots. Loved the Mohawk and still think it was a fantastic airplane.

I was crewchief on Hawk 13, 73rd SAC late 67 to early 69

I was a TO assigned to the SLAR platoon with the 73rd SAC at Long Than North Viet Nam 1970 -71. I can honestly say they were the most exciting days of my life. I flew with guys like Major Ivan Waggoner, WO Mark Wilson, Captian Frank Mann, 2nd Lt. Rick Grinstat, Spc4 Danny Lefleur, Spc4 Benard Denoir, Spc4 Ron Austin, Spc4 Ron Davis and Spc4 Cal Calloway who had to punch out at night and live to talk about it.

"Eagles don't flock; you have to find them one at a time."

That was the motto over Ross Perot's office door and referred to the people he sought as employees of EDS.
Mohawkers are a lot like eagles...hard to find.

I flew as a TO out of Hue Phu Bai with the 131at. July 66 to April 67. I see one of my old crew mates Bobby Bragg listed here. I was also with the 1st Div. with Tim Bright (also listed) for about 4 months. April 66 to July 66. After 300+ hours I can tell you the seat was hard and usually very hot. I can remember many nights in the middle of the flight climbing out to 10,000 feet to cool off. I also remember the smoke from burning of the rice fields being so thick that our clothes smelled like smoke. The last fight at night was the best. Coming home to the sun rise over the ocean was always a joy. Too many times the air field would be fogged in and we would try to land in 100/100 visibility. Lots of good memories. Also sad ones, the loss of good friends. Bobby Pitman and Harold Wilson.

mister mugu i dey here ohhhh

I entered the Mohawk community Aug 1975, 17L/96H. I was assigned to Ft. Hood at the 131st after riding horses at the 1st Cav Horse Plt. Went to Korea, 6th Aerial Plt/704th MIDAS (77/78), Got out of the Army and went to the 1041st MI Oregon Guard. Re-entered the Army and went back to Korea, 146th ASA (79/80). Then off to Ft.

Mohawk pilot with 245th at Marble Mountain Sep 69 - Jun 70 -- finished my RVN tour as a SPUD. Loved the machine and really enjoyed the folks I worked with. Would love to hear from guys in my flight class. Anyone know how I can contact Rick Nelson -- 73rd in Vung Tao 69-70? Best regards, y'all

I had the privilege to work on this aircraft numerous occasions.I enjoyed the experience.First time in Korea,45thTrans Co.G/S outfit. Then again at the 131stM.I.,West Ft.Hood,TX. My job description being a propellor repairman from 1973 to 1975.One ride and I was hooked!

I was an II WO with the 73rd SAC 1971-? Cant remember when we had to shut the 73rd down. Got sent up to the 131st and help shut it down to in 1972.

I flew as a T.O. for over 500 hrs. out of Phu
Loi from 1966 to 1967 in the OV-1 C. 'HAWK' 32 is currently on display at the Pima Air Musem in Tucson, Az. After my tour I was assigned as an instructor at Fort Huachuca. Would like to hear from some of my old buddies.

I was a crewchief on the OV-1 Mohawk with the 245th at Marble mountain from Dec'69-Jun'70, and then with the 73rd at Long Thanh North from Jun'70 to Jan'72. Also a crew chief on the C-130 with the Missouri Air National Guard from Jan'83-Oct'02. They were both great aircraft.

I flew mohawks in veitnam mostly visal recon and pohto missions,made three emergency landings,never failed to bring us back homesafely,great bird!

I flew the Mohawk in Nam with the 245th SAC in 1968 and the 73rd SAC in 1971. Great airplane and my finest memories as a pilot. Also flew one from Ft. Lewis to Camp Drum NY and Ft. Lee VA to air shows. Managed a stop in South Dakota to visit parents. Great way to see the country.

Ov-1 pilot class, April 1964. I was with the 4th ASTA that formed,Ft.Bragg, July 1964. The 4th ASTA was the first IR and Slar aircraft to deploy to Viet Nam. We had two OV-1B's and four OV-1C's. Great airplane loved every min of flying that great airplane. Some people bad mouthed the airplane, "airplanes do not kill pilots,pilots kill pilots".
I was an IP, Instrument examiner and school trained test pilot.There was nothing wrong with this great airplane

Most of my 23 years of military were fixed wing. From 01 Bird Dog to C-45. Enjoyed more being with Mohawks. Maint Suprv & T.I. 1978-87 w/15th MI,Ft Hood, and 87-88, Maint Sprv & 1SG, w/3d MI Camp Humphreys, Korea. Flew with a group over the Alantic deliery to Korea and Germany Units. Lost one in Pakistan on the way. Wow, what a bird.

I flew as T.O. from March 1967 until September 1968 . Shiped out to R.V.M. in Oct. 1967 with the 245th then was transferd to the 225th. I flew Slar missions for the 245th and Infra Red and Foto for the 225th . Never flew in bad Hawk . Got to meet a lot of good people in short time .

P.S. Word has it some ambitious fellows in West Palm Beach ,Florida are trying to revive the old girls for commercial use at their local airfield . Thanks again .

Some of the best years of my life was spent working on the Mohawk (Stuart,Florida).Final assembly at the front of the hangar . Great job ,fresh air and sunshine . Miss it so .Thanks Grumman .

I flew the Mohawk for many years, Viet Nam, Germany and mostly @ Fort Rucker, Alabama, logging over 8000 hrs in that sweet old girl. What a shame taht the DoD and the Army didn't listen to old Gen. Stormin' Norman and keep her in service. I'll miss her until the day I die.

I flew the Hawk for about 15 years, in Viet Nam, Ft. Hood and Germany. Flew it across the Atlantic three times. I met a great bunch of guys, pilots, TOs and maintenance personnel. No matter what they say, the Hawk could be a forgiving bird, when treated with a healthy respect.

Flew as a T.O. with the 244th Avn Co. Vietnam - 1969-1970. Great aircraft. thanks Steve

My father was a T.O. in an OV-1C (serial number 61-2698) and was killed at Dobbins AFB in 1978. I happened to notice the black and white picture up above of the four Mohawks, the bottom one (61-7200) is on display at Dobbins currently. I'm sure my fathers (61-2698) is one of the other three in the picture.

I started flying the OV-1 Mohawk in 1971, flew the D Models in Vietnam with the 131st until they stood down in October 1972 (then flew Hueys for the Cav for four months). My next assignment was again with the 131st at Fort Hood for three years (73-76). I then commanded the unit in Korea for a year (81-82) that was then A Co 146th MI Bn. I loved flying the aircraft and I loved the mission, but always maintained a healthy respect for her as she would turn on you and hurt you if you weren't always ready. Some of the greatest memories of my life were in the Mohawk and with the people who flew them and those that took care of those of us who did. " A SPUD is Forever"

I had the pleasure of being a Crewchief and a Maintenance NCO for ten out of twenty years in my Army Aviation career.

I became a TO (Technical Observer) in 1972. I was a Platoon Sgt for the TO's, mechanic and inspector from 1972-1992 in Salem, OR. 1st with the 1042nd MI CO and then the 641st MI BN. I was the inspector on two ferry flights to Camp Humpreys, 1st taking 5 OV-1D's the 2nd 3 OV-1D's. I was awarded a 500 and 1000 hour plaque flying the right seat as a TO. Best, most stable aircraft I have flown in.

I have the pleasure of being a part of the Mohawk program since 1960. I started with Grumman in 1960 as a flight line technician on the OV-, later became a technical representative in Germany for 4 years, then in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969 as team leader for the SEAMORE program. I later entered the Marketing arena for the company and became the Director for Army Marketing. I remained with the Mohawk until it was retired by the Army in 1996. Prior to that, and since then, I have been a member of the OV-1 Mohawk Association,and the Good Lord willing, will probably be a member till I leave for the Big Hanger in the sky.

Helped to form the first Mohawk unit in Korea in Fall, 1963. Flew right seat and loved it: our planes had dual sticks. Have loved the beast ever since and spent 5.5 years at the Ex Dir, OV-1 Mohawk Assn. Greatest folks in the world were Mohawkers.

I flew the Mohawk from 1967 until 1972. I served in the 73 SAC in Vietnam in 1968 - 69 as a pilot, aircraft maintenance officer, and maintenance test pilot. Later I helped to field the OV-1D at Ft. Lewis, WA. The Mohawk was a pleasure to fly day or night or in bad weather. I always had full confidence in the aircraft. Please go to the OV-1 Mohawk Association web site: www.ov-1mohawk.org.

I have more than 2500 hours PIC time in the Mohawk. My ass still hurts just thinking of all the hours I sat on that rock-hard seat. Flew them in 'Nam, Germany and the Georgia Guard. Great performer for an Army aircraft.

I flew the Mohawk from 1970 in Vietnam until 1992 four years before it was retired from service. Check out the OV-1 Mohawk Association's web site at: www.ov-1mohawk.org We also have a bi-monthly newsletter The Mohawker.
