| Gale Bensinger Elsie, MI | I served in Nam on two tours, 1968 and 1969 departing in nov, 1969. I am looking for the where abouts of a David Joslin, who went down in a crash just north of Nha Trang, he and one other person made it out, but not without being burnt over about 90 per cent of his body. I believed there were about 7 persons on board. He was a mechanic out of our engine shop, 14 FMS, we were baby setters for the 20th, ha, Great bunch of guys. I hope all of you have faired better than I, god bless and hope to hear from some one about Dave., Last I seen of him he waw being shipped out to Japan burn center.

| Steven Bruce Elkton, KY | I was an engine mechanic for the UH-1Ps assigned to the 20th SOS Green Hornets at Tuy Hoa AB(Oct 69 to Sep 70) and then at Cam Rahn Bay (Sep 70 to Mar 71). The "Hornets" did transition to the UH-1N in late 1970. The UH-1Ps were dispersed all around after they became fully operational. I left there to go to Yokota AB, Japan to continue working on the UH-1Ps. Two of the "Hornet pilots Capt Dave Juday and Capt King went to Japan to fly the UH-1Ps for the Commander of 5th Air Force. Can't remember other names from other crewchiefs that also went to Japan, it has just been to long ago. For any of the old "Hornets" that are still out there, I say Hey!!!!! 03/24/2009 @ 08:48 [ref: 24005] |

| Kris Castillo Miami, FL | So did the 20th S.O.S. get UH-1N's while in Vietnam or not? I have a picture I while googling for info of a UH-1N with the SEA camo pattern and the hornet on the side, sitting in a revetment, but there was no caption denoting if it was in S.E.A. or not. Also, I wanted to know if the UH-1F/P set up over the cabin roof was the same as the UH-1B. I know the P only had 1 UHF antennae, and the P had a second one behind that one, but what about the hump? I'm modeling a UH-1F and planning to also make a UH-1P, but the kit basically uses the same mold as the B and C roof section which have the hump on the roof. Do I need to ex it out? for both? for just one? I need help on this since I can't really find pictures from an angle to answer.
Thank you to anyone willing to share this info with me. Kris 07/26/2007 @ 07:58 [ref: 17290] |

This note is from the above website regarding the UH-IF on static display at March AFRB in Riverside California. The history of this aircraft was given as being sent to South Dakota after being at Edwards AFB. Two UH-IF/s were assigned to the ARRSQ unit at Edwards. Tail Numbers--141 and 143. Both Aircraft were sent to the Bone Yard at DM, Arizona in 73. Replaced by Brand new HH-1H aircraft that were subsequently sent to the Air National Gaurd. The aircraft that replaced the HH-1H were UH-INs from the 20th SOS by way of Florida, Eglin AFB. Tail number 142 was assigned to the Test Pilot School. It crashed vs hard landing and was destroyed by the subsequent fire. 02/27/2007 @ 09:58 [ref: 15689] |
