Doc,
I remember the incident some what. I know the air strip sure had a lot of causalties on it. If you could give me more details about it I would sure appreciate it. (dates, times, names, actions). I am interested in filling the gaps in my own memory. The best place to get info is the Mike Force web site. just search for Mike Force. Or try www.greeberet.net, and www.mileforceassoc.org
