I was an assistant crew chief of plane 554 stationed at Ton Son Nut and Phang Rang from Feb 1967 thru Dec 1967... Great Plane. Could do remarkable things...

Sorry to hear about your father Extrakatana... I was at the base at the time he died.

Was a mechanic on these old birds....1964/1965. Ton Son Nhut AFB (Saigon). Flew many missions. I'm going to the AF Museum at WPA in September. They have one on display.

I built props for these birds (Not the ones in the vid.. well.. maybe) NEver got to fly in one, but sure overhauled a lot of those sludge pumps... HEavy HEavy Square tip blades and a super huge PRop Hub make you respect this plane without even seeing what the actual aircraft looks like.
