Sturkey
pokes through the charred wreckage of an H-46 from his squadron.
During the pre-dawn hours of 27 January 1967, this helicopter
was flying an emergency ammo resuppy mission. Shooting a
GCA into the Khe Sanh airstrip in blinding (zero-zero) fog, the
H-46 flew into a Huey that had parked on the runway (the fog was
so thick the Huey could not air-taxi). Both helicopters
were incinerated by the jet fuel and the load of ammunition. |
