Two days later a few us had to recover the engines. I thought it was my fault 0473 473 crashed. It haunted me for weeks, couldn't sleep and did tons of drinking. I had to go to a crash investigation inquiry. It turned out to be a rag left in fuel cell that got stuck in the fuel line to the fuel pump. The engine shut down and pilot couldn't dump enough fuel before crashing. I was vindicated of any wrong doings for the crash The names of the crew I wrote in my green parts book for quick reference on engine parts. I go to my Vietnam memorial in my down and saluted 5 times for the crews members that died on Nov. 17 1967. That crash has been in my mine for the last 47 years. Welcome home all you VETERANS.
