| Mark Bolen Winchester, KY | I have not found anything on my unit, Det 15 38th Areospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron. I was a mechanic on CH-3.

| chris Tart windsor, CA | I was with the first 2 CH-3Cs from Eglin to NKP in June of 1965. we had 9676 and 9685 (tail numbers) we disassembled them and flew them to Ubon by C-124 and assembled them there and flew to NKP where we were attached to Det 1 of the 38th ARSq. Our Detachment Cmdr was Capt. george C. Martin. I hope this info helps with historical data.
PS I forgot to mention, We changed an engine in a place called L-36 using a tiedown strap as a hoist and the rotor as leverage. 01/27/2007 @ 09:22 [ref: 15318] |

| William J. Hines (SSgt. USAF) Rosendale, NY | In Nov. & Dec. of "65 the 20th. Helicopter Sqd. was formed. A hundred or so of us became familiar with and current on 8 CH-3C's in preparation for a tour in S.E.A. We were the first CH-3C's in Viet Nam. I was in Instruments/Autopilot at the time. Jolly Green came over later in '66 but their CH-3's had self sealing fuel cells, bigger engines and armor plating. We flew with 3 vests, one to wear, one to sit on and one under our feet. Working on the aircraft was a breeze. every thing was accessible. The maintenance platforms for the engines were unique. It almost seemed like the engineers designed the CH-3C for the mechanic. I do remember reading that a few years after our rotation, one of our original pilots, a Major, flew a CH-3 with a refueling boom across the Atlantic.
Thanx 4 letting me share this with U. Willy 02/28/2004 @ 12:53 [ref: 6868] |
