The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

Big guns on LZ Pony
On LZ Pony, we had the pleasurable company of a 175mm gun and an 8" howitzer.  Don't know who they belonged to, however.  Always a thrill to hear and feel a 175mm gun fire.  We were at this LZ for only a few days.  I do not recall any fire missions.  We convoyed up to Phu Cat AFB, loaded up on C-130s and flew to Kontum.
