………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I flew Cobras for the entire tour. Call sign Centaur 46 (Jan69 to Jan70). The Cobra I flew most of the time in D Trp was tail #189 and I flew it in a heavy hog configuration, 4-19 round rocket pods instead of 2-19s and 2-7s
Only different thing about my tour was I was selected to escort a USO Country Western Band around the country for 3 weeks visiting lots of small SF fire bases.
I stayed in after my first tour, got to do a second one with the 11th ACR, flew Cobras again for most of it then took over the scouts and flew OH6s. Retired as a LTC in 92.
