Yup, that's it. D Troop was re-designated D Troop 17th Cavalry shortly after the Easter Offensive started. At the time of "our" mission it was D/17. Snake paint schemes remained the same. Some of our aircraft were personalized with such as "Tea for the Tillerman" (not sure what that meant) "DDAP" (Dead D**ks Are Pacified), "Okie." I'll have to dig back into the memory backs and dig out old photos when I get home.

Want some good Snake stories? Google Vietnam Helicopter Pilots' Association website. Or ask me.

Here's some pics taken while working on the next set which is due out this week...with any luck.

I still haven't tamed it down where you can get them before they get the HQ Bldg but I will.

And one more from Thai Nguyen Bridge.
