| Howard Jackson Ft. Lauderdale, FL | Tail #14238. I was one of the first crew chief originally assign to Stuttgart, Germany with the US ARMY's 73rd CBTI Company (seven step to hell), for the 144th ASA aviation company which was a active unit in Korea. The 144th ASA Co. was deactivation in Korea, and reactivation in Stuttgart Germany. Seven of the 73rd CBTI Company aircraft was assigned to the new 144th ASA Company. (three OV-1D, Three RV-1D and one trainer). After a move to Wiesbaden air base the 144th ASA Company was once again deactivated to become B Company of the 1st MI Bn. RV-1D tail #238 was lost during takeoff due to bird strikes. 07/28/2008 @ 18:37 [ref: 22287] |
| Bob Bissonette Rochester, NY | Well, if you need a reference for ANYTHING Mohawk or Quicklook related Bob Hamey IS your man. I was lucky enough to work for him with the 144th and 1st MI Bn.
It's great to see the RV-1D rembered here. 02/26/2008 @ 04:23 [ref: 19781] |
| Scott McLane Colorado Springs, CO | I was a 33R stationed in Weisbaden with A Co, 1st MI from 89-92. I use to fly the maintenance/calibration flights. I have flow in 262 and it is nice to see it is still around and not melted down. I just retired after 20 years and that was one of my best assignments. We also had 258, 267, 269, and 273 as our mission birds. 273 was lent to another unit and crashed in a dust storm during the Gulf War. Oh the memories of hooking to the belly with the Preflight/Postflight Vehicle (PPV). 02/04/2008 @ 18:16 [ref: 19553] |
| Matt Shelton orlando, FL | I also served in stugart and Ft. Devens with Bob. It is strange to find these planes on the internet. I have to say that working on and flying in these planes was a highlite of my life. 12/08/2007 @ 08:09 [ref: 18849] |
