LZ Pepper - C Company Crash883 viewsBob Witt Photo

As I remember two or three ships crashed. The CO of Charlie Company, Maj. Burkhalter (?) was A/C of the first Ship. Can't remember who I was flying with, we took several hits and barely avoided a mid air with two Cobra's who turned into each other rolling hot on a 50 cal. that was working out on the flight. On final to the LZ the CP of the crashed ship was acting as ground guide, seems like he was a guy that was not well liked, anyway I believe he ended up with a Silver Star. After departing we landed at Aloui to check damage. Another day in the Valley.

I remember one crew chief by the last name of Yates. He was a slight individual, crew chief, with whom I talked to quite a lot aboard ship. The fellow with glasses in the picture reminded me of him but I don't think it was Yates.
