I was the crew chief of this aircraft and handed it over to Cpl Terry Hoffman (later KIA/MIA) for safe-keeping. It was destroyed in the early morning hours of 5May68 when the HMM 262 flight line received a volley of nine NVA 122MM rockets. Side number ET 28 - BuNo 154024 was destroyed and four others received light to moderate damage.
