While a movie was being shown in the hangar, this CH-47 was running some
tests. Something went wrong and it flipped out of control, sending chunks of blades flying all around the company area and sending the movie-goers running for cover. Later, a CH-54 flew away with what was left. |

Backside of the Varsity hangar. Each time a
Chinook came flying in for maintenance, everyone inside would run out the back door to avoid being sand-blasted. |
|
The Varsity hangar could hold three Chinooks and keep the
maintenance crews in out of the hot sun or rain. Lights in the hangar allowed a maintenance night-shift as well. |

From time-to-time, all of us got a chance to patrol
our sector outside of the Camp Eagle perimeter. |

Our call sign on one of the revetments.
Concrete-filled, the revetments gave some protection against in-coming. |

This was the Danang Airport where I
slept on the floor for 3 days until a B/159 shuttle picked me up. Little did I know that's where I'd be assigned. |
