with Maj. Jim Gaffney – Crusader 6
Crew Chief – SP/5 Dave ‘Doc’ Brown
Miss MarLeen was named for my wife MARgaret and daughter KathLEEN. She was a new ship when received and was selected as the C&C through the existing practice of cycling new ships to the C&C which got more blade time and needed higher availability. She was later cycled into the lift fleet.

This is “HELL HOLE COVER ART” and the super lifer has not been born yet who will crawl under a Huey to inspect the hell hole cover for correctness. The first platoon leader strikes again.
