Was this Jan 13,69? If so, I was the door gunner on the 235th slick used as a flare ship that night. I'll never question anyones memory of 30 years ago, but are you sure about your story. I have some pretty vivid memories of that night. I was on the flight line when we were hit. I never made it to my ship until they came in to refuel and reload flares. My crewchief (Gross)flew as peter pilot while he wasn't tossing flares. I dropped flares most of the rest of the night. I'll never forget Gary Weatherhead being hit by a b40 rocket 15 feet in front of me as we tried to get to our ships. The VC that got him fired ak47s at me as I dove into the swamp behind the revetments.
