A Note from The Virtual Wall



According to the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots' Association database, which is derived from Army Safety Center records, UH-1D hull number 64-13526 was one of three aircraft on a troop drop-off mission. The first two aircraft in the flight departed base at about 1210 and proceeded toward Fire Base Lynch in Phuoc Tuy Province; 64-13526 was delayed by 2 to 3 minutes and the pilot intended to take up a distant trail position. Instead, as the aircraft cleared the barriers it lost power. The pilot started a shallow left-hand turn to return to the PZ but struck a 110-foot-high tree at about 75 feet above ground. The Huey fell at a 60-degree angle, impacting in a right-hand descent some 75 feet from the tree. Although the fuselage did not break up, there was a fire. Seven of the nine men aboard died in the crash:


68th AHC aircrew:


SP5 Karl W. Titus, Middletown, NY, crew chief, and


SP4 Michael G. Warnick, Bartlesville, OK, gunner.



Passengers:


SSG Leroy Williams, Greenville, MS, 498th Med Co;


SGT Bruce J. Stickel, Federal Way, WA, Bravo 322nd Infantry;


SGT David F. Tinsey, Huron, MI, Bravo 322nd Infantry;


SGT Jimmy W. Westbrook, Sanford, CO, HHC 322nd Infantry;


PFC William I. Allsbrook, Tarboro, NC, Bravo 322nd Infantry; and


one Vietnamese, rank and unit unknown, V. T. Bui.

To my brother, my Hero

William, you were always my hero. I wanted to be just like you, but I didn't play football or basketball like 'The Will', just didn't have your touch. I enjoyed watching you and was always proud to be your brother. My daughters have been told about you all their lives and Katlin has followed in your footsteps and goes to NCSU with one difference, she is passing and majoring in Genetics. Jenilee the youngest is tall like you, runs like you did and is going to major in Criminal Justice. Never does a day go by that I do not think of you. What would it be like to be able to call you. I have told the girls about you letting me drive mom and dads new car around Tarboro although I was only 14yrs old. Got to meet Dwayne Davis and his wife in 2009, and he explained alot to me about Nam and what happened on October 2, 1970, daddys birthday and the day that changed my life. He told me you were the bravest and kindest person he knew. It made me smile to talk with him and it also let me finally be able to cry after nearly 40yrs. For now I knew my big brother was a hero. You were my hero before Nam and you are still and one day I hope to walk with you again. It has taken a long time for me to let you go but Dwayne made it a lot easier. Thank you Dwayne for coming to see me, you are truely a wonderful person. For now God bless you William for we will meet again and it will be a most wonderful day. I Love you. Mike
