Description: The Air Ambulance Platoon monthly newsletter was redesigned to include two columns and hand drawn illustrations. It reported because the cold and rain everyone wore the 'Irv shirt' named after WO1 Irving C. Reid and Boonie (rain) hats. The 101st PIO mem took about 1,400 feet of 16mm film of hoist missions or other activities for a training film. The unit now had TV sets. SP4 Roy M. Mayberry, a jump qualified medic, helped test of new safety harness for CE and medics. The unit finally had 12 aircraft with the addition of two new ships; 241 crewed by SP5 Richard Oberg and 249 by SP5 Larry Wagoner. However, on the 17th 851 was lost in an accident with the maintenance tent; so they were back to 11 aircraft. The heliport space increased 70% when "Sawyer's Ditch" (CPT Buzz Sawyer) - a creek was closed and completely renovated up to the east next to the 1/83rd ARTY.
