From Jack 6/5/2011
Great story and picture of of dak to airstrip and the hit planes. I watched it all as a member of the 173rd. I was in an open bunker just to the left of the runway heading towards the river. I watched the nose cone get blown about a 100 ft in the air and watched a col crying in the bottom of the bunker and an sf soldier sitting at the top. I joined him. Also, the sgt and officer who ran from the bunker, started the plane and took off. good luck jack
