Two second platoon pilots in their outdoor area. Bennet, who was later in a mid-air with Thomas Puff, first platoon dog, “Maggot,” and Ted Parker.
From left, Jack Thompson, then Johnny Johnson and Ted Parker.
This is my photo. Don’t remember who I was flying with that day, but we’re at the pad near airfield at Tay Ninh, we were sent there to pick up two suspected VC. We flew them to I think Bien Hoa, then returned to Di An. This was probably September 1971.
Photo of briefing around a map, center of photo doing the briefing is Capt Robert Greenfield, 1st platoon. Starting from left, kneeling and looking at camera, CW2 Tooey, next bent over is Bill Gray, Johnny Johnson, then Greenfield wearing the vest. The others to Greenfield’s left (right side of photo), mix of Cobra pilots and more lift pilots. Photo taken by Ed Artis sometime between September and November of 1971.
