I believe my uncle had some dealings with them during early Vietnam days. He flew B-26s in Vietnam and the surrounding area during the very early 60s. Before we were supposed to be there. He was one of the original Air Commandos and talked of "sheep-dipped" cargo pilots doing their thing while he was doing his. He is 80 years old now and sharp as a tack. Still flies his own airplane. His war stories are endless and he remembers every detail. Those fliers of that era both military and otherwise were an amazing bunch. Cheers, Tim
