Udorn Maintenance Crews
Maintenance in the combat zone was excellent; maintenance aborts were rare (more
on the major who wanted to abort and couldn’t in “Chuck” in Alone, Unarmed
and Unafraid). At Udorn in 1967 and 1970, airplanes flew 24/7; the aircraft
maintenance crews worked 12 hour shifts, six days per week [1]. (Photo credit:
