First assigned to 26th Arty, ASTA in Darmstatdt, Germany, until unit was disbanded later that year. Arrived in Nam December, 1966, assigned to 1st Cav Division, 11th Avn Co., ASTA. Had the pleasure of working with some great men while there - Majors WEBB, TAYLOR, MCCASKEY (KIA), LEWISs, Captains ULBINSKY, HOOK, OSBORNE, PETESCH, DEITRICH, MCKEITHAN,and CWO HUNTSMAN. A long list of T.O.'s as well. Some of my classmates and great friend listed here - Bobby Pittman (KIA), Harold Wilson (KIA), Jimmy Stoberl (KIA), Tim Bright, Bobby Bragg, Jerry Shirley and Kenny Coe. Flew over 100 combat missions and countless ' check rides '. Never kept track of hours but it doesn't take much for me to smell the mixture or sweat in the cockpit and JP-4 coming together. The men, the aircraft and the experiences provide some of the best memories of my life. reply |

Rucker, Alabama, went through the first factory checkout in 1960 at Grumman in Bethpage, LI NY. Accrued over 2,000 hours since serving in operational units, as Deputy Program Manager, and terminating assignment as Plant Commander in Stuart,Florida producing the OV-D. Flew the OV1-A,B,C,D,E, and was at the retirement ceremonies of the Mohawk at Ft. Hood. To show how many had flown this bird, at the retirement ceremonies at Ft.Hood, the Unit A /C were lined up so people could look at them. I spotted one that I had flown and when I introduced myself to the young pilot standing in front of that A /C, I commented about my having flown that bird and his reply was "MAYBE YOU KNEW MY GRANDFATHER" reply | | Jeff Warden, e-mail, 09.05.2012 18:29 Large part of my "greatest" life experiences was being a T.O. on this great OV-1 Mohawk. Started out in the Oregon Army National Guard in the 641st MIBN 1984. Did a couple of "REDTRAIN" (2 Month) tours to the 3rd MIBN in Camp Humphreys Korea. Went active duty in 1988, assigned to the 15th MIBN in Ft. Hood, TX. While stationed there, got to fly missions out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Completed overwater survival school in Homestead AFB in Florida, & flew missions in Desert Shield /Storm out of King Fahd(sp?) Royal Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia from Sep. 90 to Apr. 91. Every place I got to fly in the Mohawk was a great experience. The people were always cool and so was this plane. reply | | Jeff Grage, e-mail, 26.02.2012 16:08 I was a Crew Chief on the Mohawk during the Pubelo Incident. 67H20 reply | | Boldon, e-mail, 13.01.2012 04:06 it was long thon north reply | | Ronnie Boldon, e-mail, 13.01.2012 04:03 The 73RD sac was a great bunch of officers and enlisted men.

| | Michael (Frog) Hawe, e-mail, 20.10.2011 08:59 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.
