Photo provided by Sgt Vic Abrams Crew Chief TV-4 HML-167 1970 This is aircraft TV-17, is my aircraft, the MUFF DIVER. This picture was taken by a stars and stripes photographer in February or March of 1971. This picture made the front page of the April issue. I have the whole set of pictures the photographer took. // Mike Swiatecki [swiatecki@comcast.net]Comment by: Robert W. Johannesen on Jan 18, 2007 08:56 AM TV-17 was one of the best birds we had. Mike Swietecki kept her spotless. Mike & I painted the Muff Diver on the side. On this day I believe Joe Yanessa was flying TV-17 and I was flying the camera bird down near Hill 55 southwest of Marble Mountain.

Swietecki is incorrect on the date of '71. I (Bob Hogoboom) was the gunner in this photo. It was taken in 1970. I was not there in 1971. The photo was in Leatherneck magazine as well as Stars & Stripes.
