Mechanical? <br>If someone has any information about this, please get in touch with me. <br>MSgt Retired.

My father is retired Air Force mechanic and worked on the Sikorsky H-19 for the 1st TransAtlantic Helicopter Flight. He is still a mechanic and loving retirement but misses it tremendously as he was in the airforce for over 25 yrs. I dont think I have ever asked him that question. Nonetheless, I am in receipt of some very awsome photographs and documents I believe should be preserved along with the signatures of the men on those first flights and the Saturday Evening Post article. My respect to all of you. Sincerely, Mrs Linda Goller http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1358918509 http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1358918509&comments=comments http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1358918509 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 23:21:49 -0600 Thank you for your service.

Being in that helicopter meant the world to him and I totally understood it when we spouses were allowed to take a trip up in that H-60. What a thrill. Just wanted to say thankyou for providing this site a way of seeing other people who wanted what he wanted. I knew some others besides his crew that had taken final flights and was sad to learn that. May they all rest in heaven. I read a quote from Harry Reasoner something about helicopter people being extroverts. I think it&#039;s definitely true as it takes a lot of guts to get on a helicopter let alone fly in one on a daily basis. You all are my heroes. Thank you for the freedoms you have given me and this melting pot called the United States of America. Freedom isn&#039;t free. But we are free because of individuals like yourselves who give up your freedom for a time or forever. Land of the free because of the brave. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1356925007 http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1356925007&comments=comments http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1356925007 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:36:47 -0600 Not been here in a while.

In Sep 1970, I was deployed to Det 8, 38th ARRS, Cam Rahn Bay, South Viet Nam and then shortly thereafter, I was transferred to Nakom Phanom, Thailand. I completed my tour one year later and was redeployed back to the U.S. in Sep 1971. I am hoping to find any of my fellow airmen who may remember me or served at the same time I did.

Thought I might find Igor Ivanoff listed as a member, but don&#039;t see his name. I think he was stationed at Udorn in &#039;68 or &#039;69. We were stationed together at Sheppard AFB in &#039;67. I was 60550 - air passenger specialist. If anyone knows him, tell him I never forgot him!

These incredible men and their fellow Green Berets performed feats of unmatched daring and bravery that in some cases are still classified. Their AO (Aera of Operation) was Laos and Cambodia. They composed this quote while sitting in the Bamboo Lounge during stand-down between missions. Just thought I&#039;d let you know. God bless our veterans.

Check my website for texcentrading co, if interested or email me at emilb@earthlink.net. Be sure to put "patches" somehow in the subject line so I know I want to read it. Otherwise, you will join all of the Canadian meds stuff I get. Got a bunch you are stuck with and want to sell, let me know. Do you remember the place that made your patches, please write to tell me, they likely made others and I may be able to pick up some for our buddies.

I&#039;ve tried to get in contact with CO William (Wild Bill) Lyell, he&#039;s down in Texas "pickin and grinen" with country fidlers, last I&#039;ve read. I sent Bob Michelson a bunch of photos last year, that in-flight refueling (HH-3E/HC-130) may have been one of mine. I have lots more photos which I would be happy to supply to the site if someone will tell me where to send them. I&#039;d be happy to hear from anyone, especially John Paton or Joe Brochu.

June 28 ,tonight 7/3 i was sitting on my deck watching the fireworks a chopper flew over &amp; my thoughts immediately went to Jim . We first met at Stead AFB in early 1962 Jim was on the H-19 flt line &amp; I was on the H-43 flt line so we didn&#039;t hook up much. In 1964 we both ended up at WPAFB, both being low rank &amp; just starting our families we became good friends . We would get together at one another&#039;s house have dinner &amp; play cards. In 1965 I left the AF &amp; Jim continued his career in the AF we we got together a couple of times &amp; Jim &amp; Carol spent a couple of days with us when he came back from NKP.We lost track of one another until 2007 when another rotorhead Don Hoge found the Rotorheads RUS website &amp; got in touch with Jim &amp; gave him my phone #. Jim gave me a call &amp; invited us to come visit them, we were able to get together in June 2007 &amp; had a wonderful weekend with them .We got together a couple of times after that &amp; right before before Xmas 2008 Ron Feight ,Dick Kenuzli &amp; myself &amp; our wives got together at Jim &amp; Carol&#039;s for dinner and a day of remembrance Jim I still don&#039;t remember what we were doing with that gal of yellow paint .

That page hasn&#039;t been updated in ages and does have some errors in it. i.e: Dave Rech was not in the Barry Walls\Buddy Fortner crash in NM, I think he&#039;s still around somewhere. <br>I&#039;ve tried to send names to them to no avail. i.e: John Sfier, Larry Leaming, Ron Fagan, all who perished in crashes. <br>This site you have here is a whole lot better than the Jolly Green. You even have the MAC Flyer article that made me famous, sort of. http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1214923318 http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1214923318&comments=comments http://www.rotorheadsrus.us/documents/guestbook.php?entry_id=1214923318 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:41:58 -0500 Fantastic site.

It was a great run and I wish we could all do it over again. LBRs were the pits but flying the HH-43 was really great. The heavies finally gave us a chance to get away from the home field and find out what real flying was all about.
