| Doug Williamson Concord, CA | I was stationed at Udorn RTAFB during 1970-1971 and worked in the Phase Docks. I had my run-up and taxi license so spent a lot of time in the cockpit of T-28's performing pre/post 300 hr. phase inspection run-ups. The T-28 was a superb, rugged and versatle aircraft. I always enjoyed my time in the cockpit at the controls of the T-28 and also had many opportunities to fly in this great airplane. I still have pictures of the T-28's at Udorn RTAFB on my home office wall as a reminder of my military service in the USAF. 11/27/2007 @ 15:23 [ref: 18693] |

| John Cowing , VA | Hello Jay Ink, I hope you check this board again. My Father was Eugene D. Cowing who was your father's crew's navigator on the Ground Hog and on other planes they flew. My father passed away back in 1999. I was wondering if your father is still alive? I have some great photo's of the crew and of your father. If you would like to trade a bit of history with me please contact me via email. My family and I would appreciate it very much. John Cowing 07/28/2007 @ 18:43 [ref: 17323] |

| Johnny Richmond Herrin, IL | I was a T-28 crew chief at Udorn RTAFB, Jan. 69- Jan. 70
My first day as crew chief, I launched my bird at 8am, with appx.20 others. at 4pm they were circling and landing,and the crew chiefs were parking thier acft.I was standing in front of my empty parking stall for quite some time, wondering where my acft was. After asking a couple of pilots, who couldn't speak english,the 3rd pilot said it got shot down up country.I felt 2 ft. tall for a couple of days. The next day I was assigned c/c on another t-28. As the year went on we lost quite a few. All in all, it was a great year there with a lot of great people. I worked the 4pm shift most of that year. 07/04/2006 @ 08:13 [ref: 13648] |
