"We have some great information that
came our way within the last week. The remains of three of our Squadron-mates
(HMM-165: Helicopter Marine
Medium [squadron]-165) have been located and returned to the USA.
The Marines were shot down along with Special Forces personnel during
an insertion of a MACV-SOG team into Laos on 3 JUN 67.
The body of SFC Laney (Army Special Forces) was aboard this CH-46
and one of the ones recovered.

October 1962
The downing of two Air Commandos aircraft on 15 & 16 Oct 1962 left three dead and one who survived. The story is being keep alive by Art Fields for Special Forces history. It was very well known in Air Commando circles but little written about it. This story was put together by Jim Meade, an American living in Australia, resulting from a series of e-mails between the principal players to relive those days and to correct the historical inaccuracies which have crept into it over the years. Anyone who has data, pictures, orders etc on this incident please send them to aircommando1@earthlink.net for incorporation into USAF Air Commando and USA Special Forces history.
