    Mr. Young any chance you knew my Dad, WO Ben Thompson. He was with the 3/17 70-71+- not exactly sure of the tour dates, but I do know we were stationed at Hunter AAF in 69-70. He was maintence and test flying the Cobra’s headed to Vietnam.
    While in country with the Cav, he was with B Troop, the Burning Stogies. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Welcome Home Sir!

      Mr. Thompson,

      Thanks for your post. I’m afraid I did not know your father but we followed similar paths. After my tour with the Spurs I was sent to Hunter as a P.E Team Leader on Cobras in 1971. Those were older Cobras that were being used for training ARVN pilots on the range at Ft. Stewart.

      My very best to you and your family!
