T-Birds and Warriors working out of Ca Mau. The operation area was in the U Minh Forest, 90 miles south of Soc Trang.The XO Warrior aircraft went down in the forest in about 100 feet tress. The aircraft landed up right in the middle of a VC Camp. I don’t remember the XO’s name but the CE was a guy named Price. There was one Vietnamese KIA. With the T-Birds flying cover, Col Kennedy ask me if I would go in and get the crew out of there. We had about 300’ to walk in from the landing area to get them out. |

We made it within about 10’ of the downed Warrior aircraft when CE Price called out my name, I looked up just as he took the picture above. I was very scared, but I felt very good to hear that all of our people were alive and well. We all made it out before dark and the thing that I remember most of all is that when one of our people went down, T-Bird or Warrior, it was a maximum effort right away to get them out. I saw this happen a few times while I was there and it made me feel good to know that no matter what the operation you were going to get help right away. Mike Proff |
