| Comments: | B/158 AVN UH-1H 67-17659 back in service-Seeking its former crew members
I received information on UH-1H 67-17659 via this website: http://www.thelancers.org/ACdatabase/67-17659.HTM. This helicopter served under unit B/158 AVN and is now serving as a STAR Flight firefighting helicopter in Travis County, Texas. The helicopter is arriving this weekend, and we would really like to let former crew members know about the new job of their old helicopter.
The crew members’ names, as listed at the above Web address, are P WI Sakenes EP, CP WI Wilson DE, CE Unk Kenner RO, and G Unk Melcher JA. I’m searching the Internet to try to find these crew members. Do you have any suggestions on how to locate them?
I am also visiting the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association webpage to find contact information. The STAR Flight Director of Aviation Willy Culberson is also a Vietnam Vet, and I am assisting him in trying to locate crew members.
Any help that you can give us would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Lisa Block

| Comments: | I am trying to find out what years my father Michael G Madigan was with the Outlaws in Vietnam. I know he was with the Geronimos from 68 to 69. I am attempting to get him some mahogany models of the helicopters he flew during his career (1 model for each unit he was with). I don't want to ask him for all this information because then it won't be a surprise. Thanks, Rick |

| Comments: | Hi All..Jim Brodie here, I was privileged to be able to fly with the Outlaws & The Mavericks during my 2nd & 3rd tours during 69 & 70 as a gunner. I was probably the only one Not "assigned" & was utilized as a "floater" on whatever ship needed a "replacement" gunner with both the Outlaws(2nd platoon)and the Mavericks (32,33(once,I think) & 34). Flew with OL6,23,24,28 quite often...and IF I remember correctly, OL16 one time. Wound up sick with a very high fever in Nov.70 & had me in a hospital in Saigon and they shipped me back stateside and immediate discharge from there. Was suppose to return as an apprentice diesel mechanic with Dynalectron Corp.. but someone canceled my contract while I was in the hospital and all attempts to get back there were thwarted. Would love to hear from any and all who remember me and / or, whom I had the privilege to fly with. Have just relocated to MO. (married) from after many years up in MT. Thank you SO much for this site...just found it. God Bless you All and take good care. Jim |
