29 May 1998 I ask my friends to remember another crew from the 335th AHC who were killed May 5, 1968. CW-2 Bobby Ray Williams, WO-1 Richard G. Lewis, SP5 Glenn T. Fey, and PFC Jerome E. Jacobs were killed when their UH-1B gunship was hit with a B-40 rocket up near Bong Song. They were low level in a heavy and where unable to jettison the rocket pods before they hit the ground. I usually flew the aircraft and would have been Aircraft Commander, but for some unknown reason was switched to a different aircraft and mission the night before. Few days go by that I don't think of these guys, forever heroes in my mind. Jim McLaughlin, Falcon 82 jomclaughlin@comcast.net 335th AHC, 1967-68, 223rd CAB - 71 WORWAC 67-5&7
