Pickett,
That was eloquent! AND, a very well stated position that I know that I would have love to have said. All of the crews that supported us were the very best, and as stated we had the best maintenance and the best working crews in Vietnam. There is never enough praise for those who worked in what "they felt" was the background of the frey. But as you said their performance caused and supported our performance, we couldn't have done it without them.
