I am posting this message from CW Jackson of the B101 Kingsmen. The pictures will be available soon in the Photo Gallery.
--------------------------------------------
The Kingsmen would like to thank the Comancheros, Blackwidows and the Hawks for their participation at the Snowbird Reunion in Orlando. Below are a few of the pictures taken there. Since I am not familiar with your individual websites, I hope you will be able to post this thank you and the pictures in your reunion picture folder.
This year, thanks to the participation from these aviation units, we added nearly 90 to the 101st Division Snowbird reunion. This was more than double the participation by the Kingsmen unit alone in 2009 at the Snowbird reunion in Kissimmee.
The board of Governers of the 101st Division have asked us to attempt to give them 200 from the aviation units at Lexington, KY., August 2011. The exact date in August has not been determined, but it will coinside with "Week of the Eagle" at Ft. Campbell, KY.
Joe Kline (Aviation artist) http://www.joekline.com Kingsmen from the 70-71 Vietnam era, donated 3 of this prints, which was raffled off at the reunion. The funds collected from this raffle will be used to start a new Kingsmen website, since the www.Rotorwash.net website is no longer available. We hope to have that website up shortly, and will be seeking permission to link it with the websites of all the aviation companys supporting the 101st Division in the Vietnam era.
We hope those that attended had a good time, and will go back to their respected units website and spread the word about the 2011 reunion at Lexington, KY.

I and some 2 dozen other Vietnam era vets are trying to locate those helicopter units in I Corps involved in the battle and evacuation of personnel on Hill 950 (aka RR Hickory, Signal Mountain, Telstar, etc.) on June 4-5, 1971. Any and all information will be most appreciated. We're looking for the units and crew involved and (if possible) related documentation (sitreps, AARs, ORLLs, etc.). Contact me at any time.

I was the crewcheif of 16209 with the Kingsmen (B CO. 101)in 67/68. Enjoyed your website and would like to be in contact with whomever plans the reunions for D CO (Hawks). My email address is cw_209@yahoo.com and phone number 850-960-2686.
The Kingsmen and Commoncheros would like to invite the Hawks to join us in Orlando, FL., Feb. 2010 at the Snowbird Reunion of the 101st Division. We hope also to contact C CO 101 (Blackwidows) to join us there. This would be a first to have all four Companies A,B,C & D from the Vietnam era at the same reunion.
Anyone interested, please contact me at the above email or phone number, anytime. The Kingsmen had 42 members at the 2009 Snowbird Reunion with the 101st. Please spread the word to anyone interested in attending. Thanks - CW Jackson CE209

I came to D Co.as a door gunner/mechanic on june 1968, just a littel while after they started the company as an assault helicopter unit. I remember charlie Wink, platoon leader and drinking partner. and Mad dog puller was my first crew chief, he showed me how to field strip a M60. also remember john Vinn from Montana,Bill(west by god )spiller from texas, Larry Winegar from Detroit, barney Mauckerman, the hearse driver, and Richard Brosman, who was so tight with the M60 parts you would thought he was paying for them.I was there june 1968 to mar.1969. Note to Gary Riley I don't remember any other Nelson there at that time, it must be me. GARY NELSON

Was with the Hawks from Sept 71-Feb 72. Company stood down while I was on RR. Flew with a lot of great pilots: Browning, Vick, Lovelace, Robinson, Cuevas(sp, Snow, and many others that time has erased. 2nd Platoon Leader's last name began with H?? Leonard was CO. Thanks to whoever packed my gear and sent to I corp. Finished tour down south. Ran into Leonard-then Col-in the Pentagon some years later. Brady Robinson and I were in the 25th Inf Div together in 79-82 timeframe. Ran into Browning in 83-85 time period when he was flying Tradoc commander into Ft Leavenworth. Doug Lovelace and I were in the 82nd Avn Bn same time 72-75.
