Hi m60,

Yes, the website covers just about every aspect of their short, but eventful existence. I spent 7 months with Guns A Go-Go in late '67/early '68. I always found it odd that there was never, or hardly any mention of them in history since Vietnam, so I took it upon myself to create a website which pays tribute to them.

Below is a picture taken at our third Reunion, taken in front of the sole remaining ACH-47A. NOTE: Clarence Hall (front row/far left), was one of the Crew Chief's on "Co$t of Living"... he Crewed an H-13 in Korea.... and a P-47D in WWII.



Take care and thanks again,
Frank

Sorry, Old Hooker, I just answered my own question. I looked at your bio and your site. Awesome. Still wished I'd bought that patch, tho. Thanks alot.

I saw your pic "Go Go's last stand" and was wondering about a little history on it. I saw a patch at a gun show in Dallas years ago that had "Guns a Go Go" on it and have kicked myself ever since for not buying it. I never knew any history, just that it was very 60's and Nam sounding. I looked earlier today on Google search and saw some C-47 history. Were you by chance involved?
Thanks alot.
