Comments: |
I was the one who fell off the skid of the helicopter from treetop level into the rice paddy during a snatch. I claimed then,
to my buddies, "I had him covered all the way down!" Probably not strictly accurate. I knew a lot of you guys; but it's hard
to pick out real names from all the nicknames. I was known as "Bugs". The nickname was give to me by "Lurch" when I first
came into the company because I had buck teeth. I was out with them on Sept. 26, 1968 when he was killed and we were pinned
down for the rest of the day. We lost several helicopters that day, and a Phantom Jet which was dropping napalm to cover us.
I was also out on Aug. 1st when we hit the booby trap factory. I'm still here, though, and I hope the rest of you are surviving
well. Thanks, guys, Brian Baer |

Hello to everyone!
I am still working on my Warlord book but the going has been slow. I can't seem to remember all of the other Warlord names,
dates and locations. I want my book to be as factual as possible with all of the people involved to be identified and the
dates and places to be correct or at least close. So this is why I asked for info from anyone who could help. I did get quite
a bit of info about September 1, 1970 ambush and the medevac midair a little about FSB Mary Anne and some other incidents.
So, I need help to go much farther. I also need editorial help with the formatting, layout and finishing book. This leaves
me and the book on hold. Thanks to those helped so far and a request for more info, stories, and names. Also there were
two people who called me and I lost their names and contact info before I could call back. Any and all info welcome and names
can be kept confidential if so desired.
Warmest Regards to All
Larry Hall

I spent about 90% of my time as acobra crew chief. I remember SFC Silvers, Cutter, McGinnis, Bennet, Eide, Criswell, Jarvis,
Kimber, Mitcheltree, Chesser (RIP), and Leal (RIP). As a Skeeter I remember Pettigrew (RIP), Simson,but will have to think
harder about the rest. My AH-1G was named "Beelzebub". We,(the AH-1G CE's)played poker with Pait and the rest of the grunts.
I wish all of them and all of the rest of the Warlords the very best in 2011. For those departed,I will not forget you. |

Gentlemen,
Just need to touch base with you all before I finalize this book project for publication. I'll be sending the results of
this huge undertaking, U.S. ARMY HELICOPTER NAMES IN VIETNAM, to the publisher at the end of December 2010. It's taken six
years to gather 2,900 copter "names" that crews & pilots painted on their rotor aircraft between 1962-73.
May I hit you up once again for crew names, chopper tail/serial #'s, nose/door/doghouse art images and copter "names" either
verbally applied to a unit's helo or painted on the fuselage of that scout/slick/gun/cargo/dustoff/medevac ship.
Please inform everyone you know that the time to contribute is now. This compilation of "names" can only be termed a success
when ALL the names get recorded. I believe that what I have collected to date represents the MAJORITY of those that were inscribed
and painted on our in-country birds. Posterity will safeguard those that are saved for history. Those that go un-recorded
will regrettably chip away & erode our collective in-country legacy. Thank you gentlemen and fellow veterans, let's also welcome
home some of our long lost aviation history. John Brennan, former SP5, 114 AHC, 1970-71, Vinh Long AAF, Mekong Delta. My email
address is johnmailman@yahoo.com. |

LOOK FOR YOUR NAME or someone you know here. Some of you may remember me as well. June 69 I began my tour with G company Rangers
as a LRP. I was requested to join the Warlords and accepted. Nuf said. On the "WARLORDS DEPARTED" page on this site I would
like to honor my friends who are gone. Click on UH-1H 67-17175. These men flew for me and bailed me out numerous times (Mr.Bateman/Lt.Richardson)
and crew. Also my Animal 3 team members.
NOW...I hope to find the daughter of James B. Gordon,jr. She wants to know more about her dad. He was on 527 that day also.
Her name is Jenny Dykes. Do you know or remember these names: Mr Fox(he'll remember me, saved my butt on the QuangNai River
hot extraction). How 'bout skeeter driver Sugar Bear?
Snuffy Smith, (killed outside our hooch across the road from the flightline, accidently it was determined by another Animal
I shouldn't name). And Greaser from the motorpool. Quinlan, Wyatt, Clark, and Animal team leaders Gist, Carl Combs, Ted Alley,
Roger (Rocky) Morrison? Or team member Poff. And last but certainly not least, my good friend David (Fat Albert) Phillips,
the best RTO you could ever ask for! "Call in the world, Fat Albert. These bastards are everywhere"! |

Just found this site,very well done. I was in charge of the armament dept. in 1970. I would like to thank all my guys and
the pilots who came out to the flight line at midnight to give us a case of beer or a bottle of jack when we were still trying
to patch up the armament with safety wire and worn out parts. I have many pictures, I will try to scan them and get them to
you. |

My brother, Larry Kilgore was killed in a collision with OH-6A tail number 69-16023. he was being medivac after being injured.
This was OCT.20, 1970. all on his were killed and the crew chief on OH-6A was killed. I would like to hear from anyone that
remembers this incident. Also SP-4 G.A. Shawver was the door gunner and he survived. I would like to talk to him if possible. |

This is John Brennan, active member of the VHCMA and the 114th Avn Co Assn. I'm collecting "names" (e.g. FLYING COFFIN, IRON
BUTTERFLY) that
in-country Army copter crews painted on their aircraft during their Vietnam tours, 1961-73. Future book by aviation publisher
is in the making.
Have cataloged 2,730 names to date. I expect that number to exceed 3,000 when complete. Would very much like to include
as many PERSONALIZED copter names as possible. Photos of "names" are fine but not necessary to be included in the database
section of the book. "Names" alone will do.
The second part of this book project is the photo collection of helicopter "nose art" that includes "names", artwork, graffiti,
everything & anything that was painted officially and unofficially on in-country
Army copters, 1961-73.
Send "name" info and/or scanned "nose art" pics to johnmailman@yahoo.com
Regards, John Brennan, former SP5, Flight Operations Coordinator, 114 AHC, Vinh Long AAF, Mekong Delta, 1970-71
PS: In-Country YEARBOOKS are often a great source for copter "names". Take a peek and give me a shout if something interesting
is found. |

Hi Stevie Mangano, saw your note about me. I was a warlord in 71 shot down with James Pettigrew who was killed. I have thought
about him alot. Have not heard from Ronnie Cordell or Jackie Lewis. A lot of time has gone by. Wish I could fly in helicopters
again, without being shot at. |

If you like, you can add me to your morning report. I was Warlord 3 for a while during 1971, actually from Jan until I deros
in Sep of that year. Maj Long was CO when I arrived and Maj Drew took over. I wanted to hear from someone who was with me
when we scrambled to FSB Mary Ann. I see reports about that action and no mention that the Warlords were involved. Funny!! |

I have been searching the internet looking for someone my father served in Veitnam with. He has been looking for him for many
many years, and I am doing what I can to help (without really telling him - I don't want to get his hopes up). This is the
information on Joe "Spanky" Lopez that my dad has posted on a few sites:
Trying to locate: Joe Lopez
Branch of Service: Army
Unit was: 161st avn co 14thavn bn 1st avn bde
Where served: vietnam
When served: 66-68
I know that the 161st was reorganized into the 123rd so that's why I thought I might ask you. Any information would be much
appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for your service.
