THE DRUID CONSULTING/SWAMP FOX WEB SITE IS UNDER RECONSTRUCTION


 

from 68 unit history:

12 Sept 1968 - An Air Force C-123 accident at Vinh Long Airfield destroyed one of the units O-1 aircraft, a five ton shop van and most of the equipment belonging to first platoon. One of the units POL tankers was destroyed and two enlisted men were injured. One additional aircraft was damaged.

from   Ron Collins :

I heard that it landed on wet PSP runway and only one prop went into reverse. When it went off the side of the runway it hit a fuel truck, killing the pilot and copilot. It was cut up and removed while I was there.

 

 

When it all comes down I hope it dosn't land on me . . . .
