The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

Hooking up the CH-47
Exciting task.  Who wants to do it?  Well, here's Sp5 Clint Curry volunteering to get under the mechanical beast.  My notes indicate Clint was hooking up the howitzer for a hip shoot on LZ Cathy as it lifted off in Sept, 1969.  The Advance Party discovered the proposed LZ wasn't ready and they used up all our C-4 cooking supplies to blow down trees.  I still remember the lousy smell of those heat tabs....ugh.
