Record 58 Name: Don Callison Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Fl Time: 1998-07-08 03:33:43 Comments: Believe it or not I punched in Sea Float and up your page popped. Great pictures of my old stomping grounds. My Dad was an Air Farce FAC flying Birdogs at Rach Gia in 67-68 callsign "Bart" The 3rd time I was shot down was just a couple of miles southeast of there. I'll ask dad if he's familiar with the airplane propeller over door in one of your pictures. I refueled, rearmed and got snacks on a boat like yours when we were working in Cambodia 5/70. In the early fall of 70 while flying an OH6A Loach I landed at a BW Navy bunch of boats rafted on the river/border north of Ha Tein. I picked up a Ltjg and we scouted for guys in what looked like 16 foot fiberglass Tri hulls. They had MGs mounted in the bows. We didn't find anything but had fun shooting the place up. The Lt had been wounded in a leg during a VC attack the night before. I later dropped him off at the SF camp at B43. I have pretty good maps if you would like to see about where Sea Float was near Nam Can.

Hope you don't mind a note from an ex Air Force type who served in Saigon Oct 69- Oct 70. Your efforts were greatly appreciated by those of us who served there. By the way Plantation Road was beaucoup bad. You were lucky to escape with your wallet from that place. Great photos, will visit again.

Butterfield was our commanderand Warren officer Mason. Remember the big sign we had "Go Navy,beat Army".I am a missionary now in Bolivia and my kids think about Vietnam like we thought about the First World War. Record 429 Really enjoyed looking over your site. Will have to return often. Have been trying to write a book on my tour which was spent at Long Xuyen in July of 1968, then August and September at Vinh Long, then Binh Thuy Air Base, Also spent some time at the President Hotel in Saigon and would like to get more information about that place as well as see photos of it. Even though I was in the air force there, I managed to meet and work with great people who were in all branches of the armed forces, USA and allied. Thanks for your great displays of Vietnam artifacts.
