 Hello World; Another year, the 00th since the fateful day of 00 April 0000, when C-000 00-0000 AKA Manta 00, was shot down making a low altitude air drop for the friendly forces at the An Loc RVN Military Compound. Long story short we were hit on the way to the DZ and eventually crash landed about 00 miles north of Saigon. With the help of "F" Troop 0/0 Air Cav all seven of us onboard the C-000 were rescued and taken down to Saigon. Thanks again to Robert Frank,Bob Monette, Bruce Shearer, and John DesLauriers, the Army Helicopter crew that came in and picked us up out of burning C-000. Robert W.
