#3- Picture #3 identified by Ron Milk who served with the 98th Trans Det.,
120th AHC, 210th CAB during '67 as a door gunner and member of downed aircraft
recovery team.
#6a- Picture #6 of Roland Shecks is from the 173d Airborne Brigade. I believe
the patch on the nose of #18 is from the 11th ACR.

#11b- 25th Infantry Division " Zulu Hunter". name not provided.
#13- Re: Roland Scheck's collection #13...
I'm about 99% sure that this was the CO's personally assigned aircraft for
the 52nd Avn Bn. "Dragon 6" would have been his call sign and the 52nd was
known as the "Flying Dragons"...of which the 119th, 179th (?) and 155th AHCs
were a part of. Camp Holloway, near Pleiku, II Corps would have been the
HDQTs for the 52nd.
I don't recall the Bn CO's name while I was there, but I believe that I actually
flew in this aircraft around the week of Sept 2, 1967. At that time, the
Bn CO needed an experienced pilot to fly him around in-country when he was
ready to DEROS while he said good-by to his company commanders. With 11 months
in country, I was the aircraft commander selected to be his co-pilot.

call sign "California Dreamer" 119th AHC (66-67), A/158/101st (69)
#13b- Item 13 (Dragon 6) is from the 52nd CAB, 17th Group, Camp Holloway,
and is likely (I'm not certain, I must admit) to be the bird for the Battalion
Commander.

#18a- I believe your nose art photo #18 belongs to:
Air Cavalry Troop
11th Armored Cav
Thunderhorse
Also, note that there is a hat next to first graphic of horse insignia thats
says "Blackhorse" with amini version of this inisignia.

#18b- I'm right in regards to the nose art that is numbered as #18. I'm no
expert but, my ex-brother-in-law wore that shoulder patch. It's the 11th
Armored Cav. Regt. He was assigned to them twice. Once in Nam and later in
Germany at Fulda. I don't recognize what is above the horse's back and slightly
to the right. Appears to be a dove or some sort of bird but the basic emblem
is the 11th ACAV. Hope I was of some help.
