31 July - 1 Aug -

Continued [?] flying as I've been
going to Danang 3 our of last 4 days.
Booze, sodas, [?] HSA for supplies -
Still marvel at amount of damage done to
Danang always last rocket attack
buildings buckled - [?] holes everywhere
mostly from when the ammo dump blew up.

Heard first official word of Forestal
fire - Sounds pretty grim - Pushing A/C &
ordanance over the side.

Duke Savage had a run in with a tree -
bashed in the SCat & damaged [?] "doors"

Terry Cermell took 50 & 30 cal hits today
also some of his own shrapnel I guess =
Another magnet ass ! -

Roger Morgan - C117 Crew -

3 Aug

Flew to Cube with LT Shochoen Bird with
Major Jake Morra - [?] [?] - good
[?] till AD12 (Phil) then it clobbered in -
MAJOR mona lost his radio so I led him through
a hastily set up tacon 2 - went right through
a t-storm while in holding but [?] [?] -
one trouble sit him up for ring O7 when Dots was
23 - 15 3 rain - great fun - Great
braking act [?] -

Parking by Forestal and observed fire
damage - Agh ! - 155 killed 65
injured . Latist theory - Hot starting A-4
touched off a missile (either Sidewinder or
Zuni - it hit belly tank of another A-4 and
that set the whole ass end of the ship going -
26 A/C destroyed nine F-4, 14 A4, 3 A5
31 damaged - ship will probably go back to
[?]

Did a little shopping - haven't bought
much yet though - Gunner Teyalque and Terry

Catched the sandpiper had a few beers
and to bed -
