Someone from the 7/17 saved a bunch of my friends on March 12, 1969 in the Plei Trap valley of Vietnam during Operation Wayne Grey. The 1/8 Infantry of the 4th Infantry Division after action report identifies “Comic 47” and “Blue 6” of the 7/17 Cav as being in support of us (A/1/8). One of our guys has written a book describing the battle and on page 183 of “No Body Armor” by MSG Don R. White, he writes that someone identified as “Cobra lead” deployed two rockets and miniguns right on target and basically saved everyone. Don wrote, “Cobra lead roared off in glory, never to be seen by me again.” Don is now 77 and I told him when we reunited last April that we’d try to find that pilot before our unit’s reunion this coming October. So, can anyone help me in this quest? FYI , I was the Arty FO (A/6/29th Arty) assigned to A1/8 Infantry during this period. I sure would like to locate this particular pilot and at least get him on the phone with Don. My email is above and my cell phone is 832-212-9423 here in Houston, TX. All help would be appreciated. God Bless!!

Got a call from a hometown Army veteran who is going to make a R/C AH-1G and wanted to configure it like 67-15651 (Cox/Petteys KIA Jan 15,1969). He is interested in the weapons systems this aircraft was configured with and the paint scheme that “C” Troop displayed. He wants to make it as authentic as possible.
Any information is greatly appreciated and welcome.
