| Russell C. Harper Jr. , WA | I was in the 138th from 11-70 thru 12-71 as a pilot. I also flew the Ju-21A (Left Jab). I'd like to hear from anyone that was in the unit at that time. I'm currently living in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam, working for the Boeing company azs a field service rep. I plan on visiting Phu Bai (Hue) in the near future. 04/04/2006 @ 23:57 [ref: 13040] |
| Robert Davis , TX | I do not know what your sources are, but, in identifying the JU-21A and the RU series of Beechcrafts as Air Force aircraft, you are in error. These aircraft were in the Army's inventory and were flown by army aircrews. The JU-21A's were part of a SEMA, Special Electronic Mission Aircraft, system known as Left Jab. There were originally three such aircraft, but one was lost to hostile fire in Viet Nam with a loss of all five crew members. The aircraft were assigned at the time to the 138th Aviation Company (Radio Research). Other aircraft flown by this unit of the United States Army were RU-21D's of the LAFFING EAGLE SEMA system. I flew combat air support missions out of DA NANG in both these systems. Robert Davis, Master Sergeant US ARMY Retired 07/18/2001 @ 14:48 [ref: 2700] |
