Dave…I enjoyed reading your reflections on Vietnam as a soldier. It kinda helped to lighten the mood seeing that I have been checking out various Vietnam websites since Monday evening because I am very interested in this particular war. I find it amazing that anyone came back based on some of the comments from soldiers who were writing to their parents. Some of these letters are extremely sad…But in reality, it’s the horrors of war…thanks for bringing some common sense to it all..if that’s possible. But I must say thanks for what you did..I’m glad someone can look back on your Vietnam experience with a sense of humor, not to mention what you said about the Vietnam Economy, that is absolutely true…again Thanks…I enjoyed it.

I was truly touched and inspired reading your stories. As I look into the posibilities of buying a tri-pacer, I look into the eyes of my three young children. I do hope that we can have the relationship that you obviously had with your dad. My wife is fearful and uncertain what a private plane will mean as she has absorbed every horror story of losing a spouse and/or a child in a plane wreck. Your rememberances will be shared with her. I know that your dad is proud of you, just as you are of your children. God Bless you, Jim Zapata

You have a great web page. I found it by doing a search on TriPacer. I am new to creating web pages. Could you tell me what software you used and how did you create the thumb nail picture. I have been playing with Word 7 to create a web page, but I have trouble with pictures. All the pictures come in too large. Thanks Robert Raleigh, NC

Sir I am wondering about something. I have a POW/MIA adopted that was a member of the 4th Mechanized Battalion, 23rd infantry, 25th Division. I was just wondering if that would be right. Is the 23rd Infantry a part of the 25th Division? Just a stupid question.

Great pages, Dave. I really enjoyed your writing and pictures, particularly about your R&R in Japan. I was in the Second Wolfhounds and worked out of many of the hard spots along the Cambodian border. I’m sure you may have operated out of FSB Jackson and some of our PBs. I still remember how great the Arty support was–loved those 8-inch guns! Your writing about Tra Cu really rang a bell with me–I still remember that smell. Thanks for the great pages.

I have just begun the restoration of my 1956 TriPacer 150. I have never flown one as this one came as a project.

I am leaving for a couple of weeks so I wont be working on it till then.I will talk to you again.

I owned TriPacer N3275Z from 1969 thru 1972. It was a basic airplane. When I purchased it, it had an old “coffee grinder” radio. It didn’t even have a landing light! But you know, it sure brings back fond memories. It was FUN to fly!

I can hardly wait to fly back into the Great Bear wilderness this comming summer.

I’m a student at the Belgian Air Force studying flightmechanics and I want discuss the tri-pacer in all his technical ways, like the engine . So if you could give more technical information about the plane or if you know an adress on the internet, plese send it to me. My uncle also has a tri-pacer, the OO-JAK! But he can’t give me all the information I need, but you had to fix your plane so I hope that you can give more technical information. Kind regards, Olivier Etienne p.s.:nice homepage

I really enjoyed the pictures and stories about your Tripacer. I am a newly licensed pilot and was able to enjoy my first flight in a 1953 tripacer just this week. A gentleman at the local airport owns it and is willing to sell it to me at a reasonable cost. I am truly in love with the aircraft, and look forward to possibly owning my first.

Dave, Very interesting page. I was unable to get in the army in 1969 when I graduated high school because of poor vision in one eye. I felt like I let my fellow citizen down for many years. However my friends who did go convinced me that I did’nt miss anything worthwile. I sincerly want to thank you and all the other vets that served. Being older and wiser I believe we should not have been there under the restrictions our government made you guys suffer under. Good job and thanks again. Kim Campbell

Hi! I really like your story about Vietnam. I am a 16 Year old kid. Who is thinking seriously about going in the military. I just wondered if you can tell me alittle about how the army works and the training it takes to become a soilder. I’ve been everywhere and nobody will give me that information. Even the Official Army page denise that info. so if you could give me a little hint, and tell me what I need to do to prepare myself, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

The early out program that you discuss in a paper was a bad deal in hindsight. We should of come home to a military base in the US in order to get our feet back on the ground.

“Nui Ba Den” Dave, You said that you believed “that the U.S. Army had a communications station at the summit for a period of time. (September, 1969)” Dave, I know for a fact that many young men were executed on that mountain after a night of futile defense and heroic efforts to extract them from the camp. We watched from the grounds of the 45th Surgical Hospital the flares and the tracers lighting an erie, deadly glow around the top as the battle waged on. In the morning they brought the bodies down. Many had been shot point blank behind the head, They were so young and so dead. I’ll never forget it. As I recall, they were with communications and vital to Long Range Patrols (LRP’s) as well as all of South VN because of the unique features/position of “Black Widow Mountain”. Cpt.

J RICHARD WATKINS
JRW1946@AOL.COM

Just checked out your site. We were at the same places at approx. the same time. I also spent a few weeks at Tra Cu. I was there for Thanksgiving ’69. Can’t say I miss it but it was interesting in the fact that it was different as it was kind of long and narrow. But it was also so very close to the Cambodian border. Too close if you really look back at it. We spent our time there going on ambush patrol at night. The Navy would bring us out at night and pick us up in the morning. If I remember right, those Navy guys had it pretty good compared to us grunts of the 1/27 Wolfhounds. But looking back, I wouldn’t have changed the experience of the Vietnam War. For those of us who were lucky enough to survive, it made us better men. Thanks for the site. Some of your pictures bring back some good memories, especially the Bob Hope Show that they flew us in for. We spent a few minutes there but we left to go to the PX. It had been over a month in the bush so we were eager to spend some of our money. Richard

You must be a really good person.I read all your narratives, and really appreciate your devotion to family. I was “over there” before it was news. 507th. TAC COM GP. Provided radar coverage for all of the “advisor flights” and air america out of Thailand. It is strange to look at inquiries from the “kids” of our peers who only relate to that time through history books. Oh ! I have a 1961 pa22-108 Colt! Luvvin it! Hope to meet you someday. Skipper D
