I was assigned to the 3rd CACR Air Rescue and we were the first unit to land on Ubon (April 9, 1965) with two C-124's
from 45th TAC Grand Forks. We actually opened Ubon on April 9, 1965.
I retired as a MSGT in 1978. This story was very tragic and scared me for all my 71 year life, I spent 54 months in SEA,
Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia We actually opened Ubon on April 9, 1965
