A Note from The Virtual Wall On 19 December 1967 a UH-1D Huey (tail number 65-09987) of the 162nd Assault Helicopter Company was participating in a combat assault rehearsal. The aircraft, carrying four crewmen and six infantrymen from A/1/506th Inf, lifted off from Phouc Vinh. While passing through 200 feet and above a stand of 75-foot-tall trees the aircraft suffered engine failure and descended into the trees. The tail boom separated from the cabin on impact with the trees, allowing the cabin to free-fall to the ground. The cabin struck nose-low, turned over, and burned. All ten men aboard died in the crash: From the 162nd AHC: CWO Larry A. Harke, Seattle, WA CWO John F. Holz, Harrisburg, PA SP4 Anthony V. Campaniello, Corona, NY SP4 Robert D. Kline, Long Beach, CA From A Company, 1/506th Infantry: SFC Walter O. Brown, San Antonio, TX SFC Leroy Everett, Atlantic Beach, FL CPL Steven N. Radu, Cleveland, OH PFC Charles Carpenter, Oakland, CA PFC Eugene Miley, Elizabeth, NJ PFC Jimmy L. Woolfolk, Richardson, TX
