There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi Klaus, Great to see her in the right placeJust recived Henriks very well done model of the german hospital ship MS Helgoland from his offer and put it to the scenery at the historic place where it has been stationed during 4 years in vietnam war. This model is used as ai traffic and sometimes it leaves his place at pier and turned to the sea outside of vietnam waters to be resuplied by another german ship (like it is done in real during her staying in Da Nang). First shots from this one in the upcoming scenery. The MS Helgoland at her place in Da Nang right beside the land based hospital station.Next pier beside the MS Helgoland![]()

Rich I do have a good description and the whys and how that happen with photo's I'll dig that for you.Was at Danang from Feb 67 to 1st of Aug 67 with VMFA - 235 " Death Angels " , we had the F-8U Crusaders . We occupied the Northwest corner of the airbase . In the six months I was there I saw six different airplane crashes . The worst being an A-6 Intruder taking off 35L in very heavy fog and struck a C-141 as it was crossing 35L on a taxiway . I believe I read it was a major air traffic control screw up . If I can get a decent scan out of my squadron cruise book it has a pic of the huge fire ball from the C-141 .

Thanks Ian , I remember it was a HUGE fireball !
Appreciate it , even if it was foggy and it was way back in 1967 , as big a tail as the 141 had on it I don't know how that should have happened .
