More detail on this person: Kevin Stewart, son of Jon Stewart who was also in Troop 'C', 1st Squad, 9th Cav.,1st Cav. Division. He was a Huey pilot. I don't know if he flew slicks or guns. He was with the Cav. from '65-'66. I have been researching on the internet to find more stuff about my father and his tour in Vietnam.

He died when I was 9 years old, due to a helicopter accident in Indonesia in 1985...Yeah he was still flying, I think by that time he had accrued about 25 thousand hours plus by that point...Anyways my mother Anh Ngoc Mai and I moved back to Houston, TX. She passed away 4 years later.

So I have many questions about my fathers career with the Cav. I have a homemade wooden Viking helmet with 'bon voyage' signatures on it when he left the unit to go to Air America, who he flew for 6-7 years. The Viking helmet has wooden horns on it with a painted Viking on it shooting guns and

underneath says 2V2 Viking.

If any of this sounds familiar please let me know...Send pictures, or links to websites I can go to that can tell me a little about my fathers unit or even some stories by some of his friends.

These have been life long questions I've been trying to answer. I'm hoping the net can do it for me.
