| C.W. Hutcheson Gilbert, SC | I was stationed at NAS Pensacola 1963-1966.
I was asigned to Sea-Air Rescue. We had a H34 as one of our search helicopters. It was a work horse, proving it in many situations. 06/29/2008 @ 17:34 [ref: 21720] |
| Nicholas Torrieri Boerne, TX | I was in Vietnam '65 and '66.
I was with HMM-363 and HMM-364. I flew several missions in 34's. I was a window gunner. Even in bad times I always felt safe. I love this bird. Found your site using Google search.[UH-34D] Thanks for the site.///Nick 04/26/2008 @ 07:42 [ref: 20723] |
| Don Lewis Mathis, TX | As an AE1 I got my start in helicopters, making crewchief moer by necessity than by experiance, while stationed in Viet Nam. I was on TAD to NSA Saigon and we had from 1 to 3 of these (affectionaly called) "Shuddering Shithouses" assigned. We had little support, no sparts and limited knowledge but the ol 34 was very forgving. I was in one that we crashed at Dong Tam and then we had one shot down on top of the NSA building in downtown Saigon and all survived both crahes.(pictures below) 01/29/2007 @ 04:26 [ref: 15336] |
