Jim past away on the 15th of September. Jim flew Hueys for 18 months while at Phu Bi. I think during '68 and '69. He trained at Hunter.

I was a C-130 Loadmaster during the era flying in country out of CCK, Tiawan. Please let your members know that we lost another that understands sacrificed. His wings are on display with WWII pilot Maj. O.W. Wylie, our father; navigator 1st Lt. Samuel R. Sprott, our uncle, KIA WWII; and mine, Sgt. Patrick W. Wylie. I miss the hell out of him.

May God rest his soul.
