Comments: Have many vivid memories of Korea.The 67th was based at Chin-hae(k10)and staged out of several numbered bases notably K-16 (Yung-dun -po)and K-55.I spent about half my tour as a crew chief and the rest on a crew whose mission was to change engines.I specally remember the members of the Second South Africa Sq. I especally remember Airman Burgess whose ambition was to arrive back in S.A. with a barracks bag of Lucky Strikes.The comaradire of those years will never be forgotten.
