After RVN, 138th Avn Co,DaNang, I went to Ft Huachuca, USAEWS.Worked under MSG Gratchner to maintain OV1 B/C/D SLAR, IR, Camera and Avionics. Flew with Cpt RAT (Roger A. Theil), Mr Bustimonti, Col Carlise, Mr Buchanan and Cpt Walters. Helped 131st at Phu Bai to maintain gear. Retired as a CWO. Work at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Loved flying in the OV-1.

Great plan never had a bad mission. Thank you for the memories.

Flew as SLAR T.O. with the 245th SAC (Avn. Co.)Marble Mtn, RVN. 1968-1970. Truly a privelege to have been assigned with such extraordinary people. Pilots who worked with you one on one, crewchiefs that guided your aircraft out of revetments during mortar attacks, electronics technicians that kept us flying. Nothing like it elsewhere; again, a rare privelege. Thanks.

225th and later Hanau Germany. 35M, 35N and 26M. test flights--loved looking down out the canopt. beautiful. quit too soon but also too late, feel free to writr me.

I was with the 225th Avn. Co in Nam from June 1968 through June 1969. I was an aircraft electrician, and I gotta tell ya, it was one hell of an airplane!

I got to sit in one for a while. We were on a search in Colorado and two of them came into Eagle County, outside of Vail. Nice long runway but they were showing off and one of them blew a nose tire.

A long way from the Bird-dog I was flying, thought the stick looked familiar though. From the looks of it and talking to the crews it was fast and more then maneuverable. I think they had a side scanning camera or something.

By the time I got back they were gone and it was getting pretty dark.

Hi guys I was with 245th Marble mt. 131st Phu Bai and 282 helicoper company Marble mt. in 1968 - 69 love to hear from any guys from that time.

I started as a Tool Designer at Grumman in 1959. My first assignment was to incorporate all changes to the assembly dwg of the outer wing panel assembly fixture as the tool shop built the tool. I can still remember the first OV-1 flight taking off from the Grumman Bethpage, NY runway!

I became a TO (Technical Observer) in 1988 after AIT at Ft. Huachuca. It was awesome! I was in the National Guard at the 641st MI BN and was with the program until the Mohawk was decommissioned in 1993.

Was an IR operator in the mohawk at ft cambell in 63 , only flew with with the bird for 6 mo. , was a short timer , a US , first time up the hydrlic line broke & we came in hot , nice that the crew cheif had filled the air tank so the gear would go down , flying at night off cow pastures made life a bit interesting , always brought us home , never had to use the ejection seat , still remeber how to tho , took my son to Tucson where there is one on display .

I was stationed at Bhin Tuy, a VNAF Base located at Can Tho, SEA in '69-'70 as an air traffic controller at Paddy Control (USAF). we did a lot of work with the Army directing pilots around known artillery fire. Worked with Mohawk pilots and was fortunate enough to hitch a ride with an Army Captain one day out of the base up around the "parrots beak"...A most incredible flight and one of the many fond memories of my tour of duty in Viet Nam..Thank you to the Army Captain who took me up that day.

Screwchief..78-80 Edwards AFB Test Facility, we had some fun/odd toys.. T-28B, YA03 and new kids C-12 & Black Hawks.. my favorite The Mohawk! the best dam job of my life! I love the Mohawk the people, the work, and most of all.. that all indearing sweet touch of two mains and nose locked and down...spin back, feather, and taxi to the hanger, great days.. Then on to 73rd CBTI Germany to finish out my Mohawk career as "king of the tool room" (chit!) I still work for the Army as a DOD Civy but theres something about Mohawks that gets in your blood, and after 30 years I still find time to sack a lunch, go over to the D model on display (Hunter AAF) plant my ass under her wing and just for that moment..it's sweet..! for Sp-4 Gordy Brown, CW2 Roger Theil God keep you.. always in my thoughts (Oct/81-Germany) and those who are still here get in-touch!!! alt ..santafeman43@yahoo.com..
