I served in AF FAC/ALO group assigned to 1st Cav Div at An Khe in 66-67. We had a few Mohawks doing mostly recon missions. It was always amazing to see how little runway they needed, especially on landing. Made our little O1E Birddogs look kind of antiquated. Great memories of a sad time in our country's history.

I've reflected a lot on 67-68 in Viet Nam recently while writing down stuff for my son. One funny memory: I can remember any number of dark nights crouched in a wet fox hole on guard duty about twenty feet outside a PSP runway when one of these super quiet devils would glide in to land on the steel planks directly behind me with a huge clank, reverse its engines, and scare me out of my wits. I was always embarrassed at how I jumped, and I thought the pilot must have gotten a real kick out of it. But I'm sure he had more to deal with than watching me.

Working on these planes was the greatest aviation job I have ever had. I miss it every single day. I was blessed to have worked with some of the best people in the industry. I would love to work with them again. I salute every one who ever bent a wrench on a mohawk or ever climbed in to the cockpit and flew them. Thanks for all you have done

I flew with the OV1D in Germany from 1972-1975 at the 73MI company in Hanau. We lost three of our aircraft while I was there and four very good friends of mine. I was an E-6 and maint supervisor of the SLAR and other electronic repair. I flew to check out the systems for operations after repair. I enjoyed my time with the Mohawk and I still have nightmares of my lost friends. I hope all of you are doing fine and the best to each of you.
