More detail on this person: Died in a Mohawk crash in Europe. My father, Major Robert Paul Plamondon (US Army) was a pilot in Korea and Vietnam (65-67). He received the silver star, bronze star and DFC. After his tour in Viet Nam, he was placed in command of the OV1's (Mohawks) in Europe. He died picking the last one up in Italy. I was 3 years old at the time. I would love to hear any stories that anyone has if they knew him or ever ran into him. It would mean alot to me.
