VHPA News Letter

Flight,

Just received a copy of the July/August 2003 Vol. 21, No 4 News Letter from a guy I met during Veterans Day in DC. It has a one page photo of a 119th B Model Gun with napalm canisters mounted where the rocket pods should be. There is also a one page account of dropping napalm from a Huey. If any of you pilots have a copy of it and can send to Mark for posting I think it would be of interest to all. Not sure if we need permission from the VHPA or not.

The article says it took place in early 1966 and the canisters were obtained by Lt. Ron Richtsmeter a 119th pilot. You can see the CROC Patch on his shirt. It is obvious from the photo that it is an early 66 photo since the Guns are Twin 60's.

If I am the only one with a copy I will send it to Mark.

Tom Gator 851.
