Robert F McGowan (Bob) served at Takhli 1968-1969. He worked for the Base Commander. He went daily to the flight line to receive Top Secret information and deliver it to Col. Hyser. He then would be summoned by Base Commander to fly into Tan Son Nhut and transport this information to MACV Headquarters located adjacent to the base in Tent City B. He made this trip at least twice a month for one year. He flew in C-130's and sometimes stayed overnight in Vietnam. Bob has Red hair, blue eyes, slight built at that time. He needs anyone remembering him, photos, maybe others that flew and was part of the crew that flew with him. The crew of about 12 also flew cargo into Vietnam along with the top secret briefcase. Any records to see that he in fact did get flight and combat pay for this period. Bob now suffers IHD, CHF, and Diabetes 2. Thank you Bridget (Bobs partner)
