| On May 10, 1966 2 Caribous 63-9746 (c/n # 200) and 62-4165 (c/n # 103) both of the 134th Aviation Company based in Can-Tho, were on the same mission, they were low-lexing bamboo for special forces, 746 made the first drop, and took fire... 165 followed (5 to 15 mins later) I know that they also got fired on. There were 2 men that lost their lives on 165 . Sp/5 Herbert Adams, Flt. Eng, and a load master by the name of McClowski, whom I didn't know very well. The two pilots were Capt. Rolser & WO Joseph Hudson. Thanks to Hal Loyer and John Agnew |
