    Sir,
    Any idea if any of those CH53 are HMH362? That's my Viet Nam squadron and they are in country right now. Their nose number would start with "YLxx"

    I'll track down HMH362 for you there Billy Ray, find out what squadrons are in-country, and get back to you. Thank you for your service. - S.L.
