Me (left) and and Terry Hays (my aircraft commander) at Quang Tri. This is the day the 174th moved from Quang Tri back south (to Chu Lai). We expected to go back to our home at Duc Pho, but after Lam Son 719 the unit didn't return to Duc Pho. Instead, Chu Lai (the base camp for the Americal Division) became our new home. In this photo we are waiting on the flight line for the order to fire up the birds and migrate south. Like anywhere else, moving was a hassle, but we were all glad to get out of Quang Tri.
