Bob Hornberger I was at Phu Cat Feb 68 Feb 69 are planning on going to the reunion?

I was one of John Hille, troops at Na Trang, thanks to you all.

Hello gang, First time since the reunion of 09 that I have looked at the website. Great to hear from all the Spooky troops. BJ & I will arrive a.m. of 9-8-10 for an even better reunion than last year, and that will be a feat. Plan to leave early on the 12th. Viet Nam 1966-1969. See ya less in than two weeks. Dale Steele "Gunner"

Just found out about your site and the upcoming reunion at Branson. In 1967 I was SELECTED! to take the engins build-up shop from Clark to NaTrang. Twenty-seven hard working troops moved the shop to NaTrang in order to prevent down time waiting on engines. In the eight months I was there we built up and tore down over 200 engines for your Spookies. Best tour I ever had!! Lou Miller, the supply man, and myself have located about 12 of the 27, and still looking. We'd sure like to be in Branson, but the time line is short, as we just found out about the reunion. I'm sure there will be more, so we will plan on the next one, and pass the site on to others. Regards, John Hille, USAF Ret.

I was at Phu Cat from December 1967 to December 1968. I recognize a couple name in there.

I was a crew chief at Pleiku Nov.,'68,'69. Will attend the reunoin for the first time in Sep't.

I will be at SPRINGFIELD airport 12 30pm sept 9 and might need a ride to BRANSON reunion. Give me a buzz at by gmail if you think you can help. johnpitts62@gmail.com 1 707 621 2261 HAVE NO FEAR. I WILL GET THERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Hats off to those who put all this together and especially to the wifes, girlfreinds and pals who went through either our time "in country" or the many difficult years afterwards. We all paid a price but the reunion put all that to rest for me. Welcome Home Guys!
