I am getting to the point where I need input from any of you who either flew or worked with Skyraiders. There are thirteen Skyraider units I must cover for both the USAF and VNAF. I would appreciate short stories (paragraphs, not pages) and or any photos you might have from the time you spent with the A-1.
I would need to know the unit you were affiliated with, the base, and your background before and after your A-1 tour. This information can be emailed to me at spaddrvr@gmail.com
Thanks,

This blog is for the purpose of discussing all things Skyraider. My Skyraider experience is with the USAF as a Sandy pilot in Vietnam. Feel free to ask questions or start a new topic of discussion that is Skyraider related.
Hello. I recently met a Vietnam vet who claimed that he had been an USAF warrant officer who flew A-1s in Vietnam around 1968 when he was 22. He enlisted and shortly thereafter claims he became a WO. His claim sounds suspicious since I thought USAF pilots were all commissioned Os. Also USAF ceased the WO program in the late 50s well before this guy was even old enough to enlist. Any plausibility to his claims based on your research?
ReplyDeleteHello "Unknown". Would this guy's name be William "Bill" Rowe? How long ago is recently?
ReplyDeleteMy opinion: This guy's claim has zero chance of being true. Rick Rogers, SSGT, NKP Dec 71 - Dec 72. Worked on DCM Staff in Maintenance Analysis. Worked Sandy maintenance board at TUOC during SARs.
