To those of us who had the honor of serving with our fellow Outlaw in Vinh Long, Al Boniface was the
epitome of the professional aviator, always steady and reliable, a calming voice in the chaos of an
insertion. Although I knew him only a few short weeks before his DEROS, I knew him to be the
consummate professional Warrant Officer, highly regarded by peers and by his commander, who relied
on Al to function as C&C in his stead.
