| Kenneth Sxales Detroit, MI | I was in the last class of CH-37 mechanics trained at Ft. Eustis, VA (Class 67T20 501-69) When we started training, there were 2 Companies still flying CH-37s. By the time we finished, both had converted to CH-47s. I graduated from the Transportation School with an obsolete MOS that wasn't authorized anywhere in the Army. I got real strange looks when I told people what I was trained on 11/11/2014 @ 14:06 [ref: 68753] |
| Frank Narvaez Stockbridge, GA | I was stations at Ft Sill with the 154th Maint Det that
was supporting the 54th Trans until Dec 1959. Also I went to Ft Eustis Va , for the first Helicopter Maint Management Class with a group from Ft Benning/ga. Any one who contact me, I will be glad to send pictures. We put the H37 (Tng Aid) in a flying condition and it was test- flt one time. I don't remember names but I sure remember faces.

| Tony Sikorski Coram, NY | I served with the 19th Transportation Co. as an aircraft electrician at Lawson Army Airfield in Ft. Benning from Oct.1959 to Apr. 1962. With all the vibrating of the H-37 I was kept very busy, but it was a great aircraft. Was proud to work on it. (Because of my last name I was known as "Igor") 04/12/2013 @ 10:21 [ref: 67731] |
| Donald Gatewood Virginia Beach, VA | My father flew 37's at Holloman Air Base, N.M. retrieving missiles in mid-air fired from the White Sands Missile Range with some type of hooking system attached to the Mojave so it could snag the parachute of the descending missiles so the telemetry package could be studied. This was back in 1960-1962. We stayed in Alamorgordo until my father received orders for Illeshiem, Germany with the 37's from 1962-1964. Would anyone know or have been stationed with my father, CW4 Clarence (Cal) Gatewood (Ret.)? He is deceased now (2005). 04/18/2010 @ 08:55 [ref: 26033] |

| Nolan Argyle Valdosta, GA | I served with the 19th Trans from 1961-63, first at Lawson Field at Ft. Benning, then in Korea. We took all the aircraft and equipment through the Panama Canal on the USNS Core. My first job with the 19th was taking part in an intermediate inspection on 996. Mr. Elrod, our maintenance officer, came storming out of the office wanting to know which idiot had filled in four pages as "non-applicable(NA)." I learned quickly to use my middle initial and sign NJA from then on, but Mr. Elrod called me non-applicable from that day on.
I crewed 37s in Korea and in Vietnam and really loved that aircraft. I'd still take one of them over a "Hook anyday. 03/25/2009 @ 11:19 [ref: 24017] |
