MEMORANDUM FOR #### TCS/CC
FROM: ### TCS/OS
SUBJECT: Letter of Appreciation
1. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the
outstanding manner
which throe of your aircrews conducted
themselves during the TAC E mission of
4 May 1967.
As mission commander
of six C-7A aircraft from Vung Tau, RVN,
I was given the assignment
to
transport a battalion of troops through marginal weather to a forward operating
strip.
Darkness plus the low clouds and the unfamiliar flare lighted strip made this
anything but a
routine mission.
Capt Last of
your squadron led the stream of aircraft. The entire mission went
smoothly and efficiently, thanks to the efforts of the crews of both
squadrons.
2. It was certainly a pleasure to command a group of pilots who were eager to do
a job and
who readily adapted to a difficult mission. As you will know, we do little night
flying in the C- 7A
and the fact that
these people went into a totally unfamiliar strip, at night and in
weather, some
five times apiece without an incident is
indicative of their abilities certainly. Please extend them
my thanks and inform
them it was my pleasure.
FIRST M. LAST, Lt. Colonel, USAF
Mission Commander
