KHE SANH Mid-year 1965 to July 1966 by Colonel Retired Calvin Anderson, Tarboro Native

FACs: Cal Anderson, Dave Ferrell, John Hanna, Dave Holmes, Jesse Couch, Dan Packard, Bob Willis, (others will be added as we get inputs). Dan Packard, Dave Holmes and Dave Ferrell were all shot down and lost to the Coveys.

The Khe Sanh FACS flew missions over the central part of Laos, almost due West of our base. Our mission was basically the interdiction of troops and supplies flowing down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, using 01-E Bird Dogs. Using the Call-Sign of Hound Dog, we generally flew 3 to 4 hour missions since our area of operation was a good distance from home station.
