It’s that time of year...

It was 51 years ago that we got the news Jon had gone down in SaDec. Jeff Hoshko & I (both B Troop Scout Pilots) were then patients on the Officer’s ward at Camp Zama Army Hospital, Japan, both having been evac’d in October’69. We didn’t get that news until about a week after the crash. It affected us both greatly. Jon was a great guy...fun to be with and work with. I got to be his wing man on a couple of occasions...he taught me quite a lot regarding Scout tactics & survival. Miss you Jon.

I was there.

My name is Leonard Ganz and I was an Army advisor in Sa Dec in 1969. My team got the call about Jon's crash and I was sent to coordinate what I was told would be a rescue, that turned out to be a recovery. All 3 crew were secured in the helo as it sank into the Mekong River. I needed a knife to cut them out. HM3 LE Wood assisted me. 2 November 1969 ranks as one of the worst days of my life. My condolences to all who knew and loved Jon.
