More detail on this person: I remember Bobby
Sinclair from the 281st AHC. I flew with him on
some test flights. In fact he showed me how to
land a chopper down wind. We were up in Kontum
where this when this took place and I was in the
left seat. A lot of pilots showed me how to fly
but MAJ Sinclair showed me some other tactics.
He was not a tall man if I remember him but I gave
him a lot of respect. I stand 6'2".

I assume this to be the XO we had for a short
time. If so, I saw him once after tour. I was
told to report to the parade field at Fort Rucker
some time in 1969 in dress greens. While standing
at attention, I could not see who was approaching
until Maj. Sinclair did a left face in front of
me. He said he saw orders where I was to receive
a DFC with Oak leaf and had ask to present it. I
thanked him for coming and after the ceremony,
which was long with many presentations, he left
the area. I never heard from him again, but
always held a fond memory of him going out of his
way to remember one he had served with. Sorry to
hear of his passing. He was one of the good ones
and I will miss never seeing him again. From:

Sometime around 1972 Bobby Sinclair showed up
to be my Troop commander at D/1-10 at Ft Carson.
I was scout IP then, transitioned him to OH-58A. I
don't remember him in 281st, although I may have
been gone by then.
