Camp Evans Ammo Dump Explosion
May 19 - 20, 1968

The story on the "First Incoming" photo... I was out on the flightline with my camera the afternoon (5/19/1968) the rockets came in and hit the ammo dump. This was one of the first rockets to come in and hit over near the Evans main runway.

A Shau Valley April 1968
All of these C-130 Shoot Down photos came from the son of the C-130 navigator Roger Carr. The pictures were taken by a grunt medic who was KIA in June 1968. If you look closely you can see a crewman jumping from the rear ramp. In the foreround yo can see grunts and a NVA bulldozer

LZ Pepper - C Company Crash889 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.
