Need Buddy Letter for 355 FMS (field maint sq) Crash Recovery/R&R Team

Posted by Harold Foster on 11/28/2012, 12:44:56

Please reply with veteran referrals/names that would possibly honor me with a Buddy Letter for VA Eligibility.

Were you are anyone you know stationed at Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base with the 355 FMS (field maint sq) Crash Recovery/R&R Team between Mar 1968 - Mar 1969??

I was stationed there as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician during this time.

Any assistance or referrals will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Harold Foster

I was at Takhli from 20 march 1968 until 18 March 1969 assigned to the B-66 Phase docks in the 41st TEWS. I had contact with the crash recovery teams routinely thru my work site. I don't remember you specifically but if you send me a picture maybe that would jog my memory.

I was 2nd Lt Cormany, OIC Accessory Systems Branch, front Jan 69 to Feb 70. Was appointed Squadron Crash Recovery Officer. Big crash was a Thud that lost afterburner during take off and spread personal clusters everywhere. Major William Burt was the Squadron Maintenance Supervisor and CMS Lexia was Maintenance Superintendent. CMS James Baker was the Accessory Sys. Chief.
