Maj Jimmie B. Kinder, our second
B Company Commander (during my tour)
Maj Veloy J. Varner, our third B Company Commander (during my tour)
"Hot" refueling point.  Blivits were full of JP-4.  We kept the engines running while refueling.
Maj Kaup, a.k.a. "The Red Baron"
Getting settled following move to LZ English
VFR on Top.  Watch for those cumulo-granites!
Landing in formation ... short final on a combat assault
Dinner theatre?  Eatin' C's and watchin' an air strike.
Blue haze over the An Lao Valley
Coastline near Bong Son.
(Pretty view ... bad photography).
CPT Ken Hamburger made this sign for  our new bar.
Everyone had a turn as bartender.
Entertainment by the very talented Rick Beaver and Dan Green.
Our seldom-seen hooch at Base Camp (An Khe).  Note the classy wallpaper.  That's Dan Green in the background.  Bob Braa is in the foreground.  Thanx to Joe Kane for jogging my memory.
A Pow-Wow.  Maj Kinder in center, LTC Bell on right.
Maj Kinder's farewell shindig.
