23

I was in a squadren - Due
largely to three operations. Khe San,
Hickory Nut & Union . Out of those
30 probably 22 are nite hops
DH2 is really getting hot - from AAA,
Sams - all kinds of every radar tracking
you - blah - 50 cal, 12.7, great
fun. The nube of 'strike' hop has
[?] tremondously

5/D is used as to whether [?] & [?]
have [incendery?] [?] maybe they censored
it because of ARR-23

Flew the C-117 yesterday for just
time in a multi-engine - Hope to do more
in future & really see what that kind of
flying is like.

Well - VHA-121 is gone to Japan -
what's left of the original group anyway -
Derry are shore patrol from 2200 to 0600
3 AirForce GV brought in 34 & took out
121 - It was a [lazy night & trying to complete
a flight schedule was a bit rough.

311 is a little slow getting started -
LTCOL [?] being relieved of duty [?ly]
MAJOR Hichtlevaller - ex of H & CIS -12
3d has lost 6 pilots already to other squadrons
& to group - down to 20 aviators so groupize
ougt to do all right once they get rolling.
All indicatons are that it will be a dry dummer
as far as pilots are concerned.

I've spent last 3 days moving & getting
resettled at opponte eval of hut - I delayed
MAJOR Castincton intel save Dd be able to
stay with 311 area - So far so good.

Still no cement.
