The history does not mention the 282nd absorbing I Corps Avn Co @ Hue.
Just read Bob Fords book, fantastic. I was was in country on 3Jul68. Assigned to Hue detachment in about a week or so. Made A/C in Hue as Black Cat 21, and then to Quang Nai crew as Black Cat 13. How can I get email addresses for the the guys?

Richard, I have a couple of pictures I need to upload of you with Jerry McKinsey at Dong Ha, April 1967. I had left 2nd PLT and was with the Alley Cats at that time. Just learned yesterday that Jim Ross has passed. RIP.
I think Ray Jennings can help Richard: (972-492-2587) or send Email to krayjenn@verizon.net any time.
Hi everyone, I have made it into the Black Cat family. The Cat`s have always`s been a BIG part of my life, as they have been for you. Was there in 1971 as 1st. plt. gunner. Flew mostly with Mr. Foster & Mr. Alvarado, Tucker was my crew chief. While there I was know`n as Big Jake. I hope some one remember`s me, ( in a good way) crashed June 10th,1971. If Paul Roderick is reading this (you picked us up)
