CH-47A Crash

[sfcrdf2002]

I will have to look for it but I have a letter here somewhere confirming the crash of a CH-47A on the 26th of April 1968 belonging to the 179th Avn Co (ASH) in RVN The pilot was CW4 Cruell. The cause of the crash is actually unknown but it happened after a combiner box was replaced in the field and the entire maintenance crew was killed in the crash which happened on their way back to Camp Holloway. I was a SP6 TI in the 179th but had rotated to Germany before this happened.
