Need proof of trainin in Air Force Base in VA in 1969
Can any of you regulars here in r.a.m.n. help with this request??
Or point him in the right direction? Regards, On 10 Oct 2006 11:09:34 -0700, "msvuh" wrote: My friend, Mr. Ho, is currently petitioning for resettlement in the US. In his last interview, he was asked to present a Certificate of Completion for a Helicopter Maintenance and Repairman in an Air Force Base in Virginia in 1969. Mr. Ho does not remember the name of the school. What he remembers is from the base to Washington D.C. it's about one day bus drive. Mr. Ho does not have any paperwork associated with the training he had in the US for that year as they were all burned in 1975 when South Vietnam collapsed for fear of persecution. I hope you can gear me to the right direction. If you need further information. Please contact me via email or telephone (310) 223-0370 If this is not the right group to post this message, please provide a correct name of the group. I will not bother in the future.

Toi hieu tieng Vietnam. Cam on. msvuh If he's sure it was an Air Force Base, and in Virginia, then Langley AFB is about the only choice. Down in the Hampton Roads/Norfolk/Tidewater area, it is only a 3-, 4-hour max drive from DC. Even the commercial bus doesn't take but about 5-, 5-1/2 hours. AFAIK, Langley has generally been about fighters and R&D - missiles, mainly - and not helos. But there may be some reason they could have done helo maintenance training there during the VN war for some reason that would make sense only to the Air Farce. -- Ogden Johnson (ne OJ III) [Email to Yahoo address may be burned before reading.

Maintenance school would be a "tech school" and all of those were under Air Training Command at TTCs (Tech Training Centers)--places like Lowry, Chanute, Lackland, Keesler. Certainly not at Langley and I can't quickly think of another AF installation in VA. If this guy were in the US, I might be thinking "wannabe".

The term "Repairman" would never be used for a maintainer in the USAF. In 1969 the USAF was training it's helicopter pilots at Sheppard AFB, and did so until mid-1971 when the Army assumed that role at Fort Rucker. Maintenance school would be a "tech school" and all of those were under Air Training Command at TTCs (Tech Training Centers)--places like Lowry, Chanute, Lackland, Keesler. Certainly not at Langley and I can't quickly think of another AF installation in VA. No other regular AF flying units, several ADC radar sites. The VA ANG at Richmond was flying F-84Fs in 1969. |
