Deployments

(1 year, 1 month)

Oct 1967 - Oct 1968

Tan Son Knut Air Base

I was a 30150, Airborne Radio Repairman, I repaired Arc-34 radios in the Aircraft. I would get a work order, go to the aircraft, climb into the cockpit and check the radio to see if the workorder was correct on the description of problem. If correct, I removed the radio, repaired, replaced it into the aircraft, did a radio check & signed off.
