Adam Ringus was the crew chief which was wounded that day. He lost the two small toes on his right foot. Med-A-Vaced out and never returned. I believe Gonzalas was his gunner and LT. Pearson was the A/C.

I don't remember who was crewing 517 that day. According to my journal I was on 521 with Hightower as my gunner and Mr.J.D.Ryan was the A/C. We were at Dak To doing resupply and were pulled to play C/C ship after 524 went off station.

That was my first time dealing with LZ Swinger and the Plei-Trap but not my last.
