Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 4099129, member: 10475"] Sounds like we were doing the same thing at about the same time and place. I did instruments tech school at Chanute AFB and first assignment was to Tan Son Nhut from fall of 68 to fall of 69. We had a couple of squadrons of RF-4Cs, a bunch of C-123 H models (including the White Whale that ferried brass around), a couple of RB-57s, a handful of Goonies set up for electronic servalence (think primative computers and a drift meter), a couple of T-38s used mostly by brass to get in flight hours to keep flight pay, some guard unit C-119 gun ships that for some reason they passed maintenance on to us regulars, some O-1 and 2s, and the occasional chopper. We had a few RF-101s and RF-100s, which disappeared at some point while I was there. The only Caribou I worked was a transient with a bad compass - the pilot didn't want to hang around Tan Son Nhut and elected to find his way home using his whiskey compass. Good decision since we didn't have Caribou parts on hand. [/QUOTE]
