A Day I'll Never Forget
Eric and I were in the same primary helicopter training class at Ft. Wolters and the same advanced training class at Hunter Army Airfield. We both were assigned to the 57th AHC in Kontum. Eric was an excellent pilot, one of the best in the 57th. I was the AC on one of the two UH-1C gunships on the mission supporting the four slicks. After the mission, we fueled in Dak To and discussed the weather. The gunships and three slicks decided to fly back to Kontum on the road. Eric decided to go IFR. The report said the ceiling was 300 feet, but sometimes it was half of that. We had to go slow; no more than 60 knots. We made it back OK. Eric was in the process of recalibrating the altimeter when the tower lost contact with him. That was a bad day for the 57th. I'll never forget Eric and that day.

We Will Remember
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
