MP Hooch after July 23, 1971 sapper attack.  No more Disciplinary Reports on Avionics crews for driving out to the airfield with a 3/4-ton truck and no daily dispatch papers from the motor pool, nor for not wearing shirts on the airfield.  No sweat,,, we didn't miss 'em!!!!

Orderly Room in Di An after hand grenade took out kiosk where bulletins were posted.  Seems someone wrote an inflammatory letter over the signature block of Cpt. David M. Mabardy....Someone apparently took issue with the message Cr_24 copy.JPG (29764 bytes)
Touch and Go Tango with a slick from the 135thAHC at Di An.  As air crews will attest, a hard landing will cause a main rotor blade to bounce down and cut off anything that gets in its way...like maybe a tail boom. 
 No one hurt. Gave fireman something to do.
