I recently found this site and just want to say you did a great job with documentation on the history of the 282nd AHC. 

I was with the 282nd AHC, '67-'68,  Da Nang, Spec-5.  I was a crew chief and also worked power train.  I recall working with Claude Esther, and crewed with the Fishbeck brothers.  And I can remember the sign on our gun hooch said 'Tony's Pizza'.

Hello.

My uncle, Reijo Majamaki, was a Black Cat crew chief in '68-'69.  Reijo passed away in 1988, aged 46.  I would like you to add his name to the "In Memoriam" page.

 

Here is a pic of Reijo:

I would like to share his pics with the Black Cats.

 

Thanks, 

Roy

Roy, I knew your uncle very well. Please shoot me an email with your phone number I would enjoy speaking with you about your uncle.

Ron Dawe - Friday, 11 September 2015 10:57

`Roy,

Your uncle was my door gunner whom I never will forget. He was quite the character, he took offense when I told him he couldn't keep his canteen filled with Vodka when we were flying. He took great pride in being an American soldier and a Black Cat.

Thank you all for your courageous service. E. Bart Colburn of Black Cat 29 is my father in law. I am looking for any pictures, info, or stories on him for his daughter Jennifer. He passed recently, and was estranged from his children for quite a long time. Any help is greatly appreciated. sager8710@msn.com or 425-328-8936.
