Seeking old Bikini and Buc members added by Chris Greening email

Hello All! I hope that any and all of you reading this are well, hale and hearty. I just recently ran across this site and I am seeking to make contact with any and all that remember me from my time with the 170th, mid 69 to early 70. I was initially assigned to Bikini Blue for six weeks at which time I requested assignment, and was granted, to the Buc's. My AC was Al Barthelme(Buc 7-KIA) and his wing man most of the time was BJ Devaney(Buc 9-KIA) and my crew chief was William (Buddy) Yocke(still living I hope). I would like to make contact with any that was in the 170th during that time. I would also like to know if I can gather info for the next reunion. Chris Greening 05 February 2014

locate my house added by George Kasowski email

I was in the first hooch back in '69' and I built a model house from balsa wood. If you go to the galley you can see a picture of it. When I was rotating back to the states, I couldn't put it in my hold baggage so I was going to blow it up. Some guy was walking by and asked if I wanted to sell it instead. I don't know who that was. The reason I'm writing this is to see if any one out there knows who that person was. If it's you? Please e-mail me. I would like to know if it still in one piece. Keep the Faith 16 January 2014

Passing of Ronald Dean Middaugh added by Julie MIddaugh email

It is with great sadness that I tell you that my husband, Ron, passed away unexpectedly on Sat. Dec. 12, 2013. He was proud of his service with the 170th in Vietnam 1969-70 as a crew chief. This past September we attended his first last reunion of the 170th in St. Louis and he had a marvelous time reminiscing with several of you. If there is any honor to which he is entitled, please let me know. His ashes will be buried at the Houston VA National Cemetery. 27 December 2013

Great Guys & Courteous Too... added by Jack Curry email

Hi, On 29Sep13 my 1SG (wife) and I were with other family at the Pear Tree Inn Air Port in St. Louis, MO. We went next door to a restaurant and there gathered were five of your members who were attending your reunion. They recognized the Viet Nam Service Ribbon on my cap and we struck up a conversation. They all came over to our table to shake hands and meet our family when they left. My uncle who flew the old F-86 during the Korean War and my aunt and my wife all appreciated their courtesy to us. It is great you men are able to gather and share your memories, both good and bad. THANKYOU for your service.

2013 Reunion added by Jose Jaimes email

Just returned from the first/last 170th AHC Reunion, after a long day Sunday flying from St Louis to Sacramento California. What a Reunion - had a great time since this was my second reunion that I have attended, good and bad memories were shared by all, also saw some of the Bikinis and Bucs that had not seen in over 40+ years. Henry as always you go out of the way to provide the best props and displays and refreshments!! I like that blond in that two piece Bikini too. I have to say we need to have another Reunion before we are all gone....to all that attended and those that didn't it was a great Reunion. 30 September 2013

Searching for men who knew my father added by Lorena Apgar Hansen email

My father, John M. Apgar was a member of the 170th and he flew Hueys. He served from 1965 when he graduated flight school from Fort Benning through June 1970. I think he was a junior officer while serving in Vietnam. I know very little of his time there as he rarely spoke of Vietnam. -- and only began talking about it a little during the final years of his life. He died of prostate cancer (due to Agent Orange) in 2008. 14 June 2013

June 8, 1968 - Shot down on Bikini Blue 246 added by Jose Jaimes email

June 8, 1968 - I SP 5 JAIMES, along with Captain Newton (Curly Joe) WO-1 Phil Hill, and SP 4 Tom Carrolla were ambushed making our second trip out with a Mike Force being inserted just South of An Khe, Captain Newton had both his legs shot up and lost control of the ship, WO Hill was not able to grab the controls on time and we crashed landing almost upside down. Several of the troops were pinned under the aircraft, and after I shut off the engine by disconnecting the battery, both Tom and Phil assisted Cpt Newton off his harness and got him ready for evacuation. I kept bussy trying to dig out some of the baddly wounded troops and gathering our armament and belongings to take with us when our rescue ship came in. I found out many years later that Gene Roles was our saviour that day, who came after us in that god forsaken place, the elephant grass was so high and dense that I wonder how they were able to land to extract us, since our ship had taken up the small clearing that could only accomodate one ship at a time. To date I have not made contact with Captain Newton and do not have his current physical condition. Phil and I met at the 2010 Unit Reunion and Tom and I have had some contact in this past 3 or so years. Hope to see some of you this coming Reunion. SP-5 Jaimes 08 June 2013
