Proud to have been selected as Platoon Leader of the Playboys in 1967 when we were the first to fly the AH-1G
Cobra in Combat as a part of the 334th AHC based out of Bien Hoa in III Corps. There were 8 of us trained by the NETT team.

I served in HMH-361 from 1978-81. My cousin Captain Randall"Gabby" Ford served as a pilot with the 116th in Cu Chi in 67-68. Thank you for building this site. I actually found a picture of my cousin and have passed it to his family. I will contact members of HMH-361 to send you some photos and information.

I was crew chief with 17th when at Bein Hoi and the the unit went OPCON to the 101st at Camp Eagle. Trying to find an old buddy and door gunner Thomas Turk.

The 17th does not have much info, I think because in 65 and 66 it was a Caribou fixed wing unit in Plieku. The their aircraft were gi en to the air force and the 17th was deactivated. In 1967 was reactivated as 17th ahc at Ft. Riley, KS.

I couple of years ago I discovered a letter from Tom Hannigan, August 21, 1971 from Nha Be. We met briefly in Louisville KY shortly before his deployment. I mentioned the letter to my son, who has served 2 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in GTMO; his immediate reaction was "Try to contact him!" In googling I found this website and hope that and hope that I may still send my appreciation to Tom for his service ... also thanks to all the men pictured and mentioned here.

Great pictures. My father was a Cobra pilot in Vietnam and was in C 3/16. He passed almost a month ago (13 Jan 2021) due to COVID. It was great looking at your pictures. Thank you for keeping it alive. If y’all ever need any more photos, I’ve got boxes of them.
