I put in many hours on Connies during the Vietnam War. We had EC 121’s, electronic countermeasures, with a bunch of spooks on board. It was not pressurized so rarely went above 12,000 feet but it was very, very comfortable to fly on. We had a galley with a cook, best food I ate in VN. Our missions were 8 1/2 hours each and I flew nearly every day out of Danang Air Base. P-3’s replaced the Connies but were a lousy replacement from a comfort point of view.
We used to listen for your Mig calls on 243.0
Thanks for being there.

I was there as well from April 68 to December 68. I was one of the spooks from NCS Philippines Det Bravo Danang. I flew BL-23 and BL26 the most. One of the A3’s as well. Don’t remember the tail nr. I think BL-23 was the one shot down over Korea right after I left. Were you with VQ1 Atsugi?
