Thank you for your service George. I was TDY to the 602nd at Udorn in 66-67. My outfit in Nam was the 1st ACS. Not many people really know everything the commandos` did in Nam. Thank you again and glad you made it home.
My father flew with the 602nd and 22nd 68-69 at NKP. Never told us any stories.... this kind of conversation connects me a little with what he did. Thank you.
Robert, Thank you for sharing your thoughts, comments like yours keep us going recording these stories. I just got ack for the 2021 Skyraider Reunion, will begin editing and posting videos soon
Wonderful interview wonderful guy! Jack thought the world of Jim and to hear this story again from his viewpoint is just amazing. I wish MT the best in its mission to bring us these awesome stories.
I just got to see Jim a couple weeks ago at the Skyraider Reunion. Great Guy, eternally grateful that he found me on the second day of the 2019 Reunion and trusted me with this interview
I was only really bothered after the mission was over and I had a chance to think about how close I came to dying. Now, 50 years later I can still recall exact details.
@@militarytales I was a USAF pilot and flew Spookies out of Danang in 70 and B-52's out of UTapao in 72. I haven't attended any of the SEA Reunions. I am a member of the River Rats.
Another great interview. I have only just discovered your channel but am loving the content! Making my way through the vids now. Thanks for sharing these!

I've known about SPAD, Sandy and the A1, but this is the first time to hear "air commando".
I'm really enjoying these videos!

Welcome aboard!
I was a Forward Observer for a Light Infantry company. My greatest fear was that I would be a coward. Turns out, I am not.
Good job spads forever
