Sgt. Foyster "Willy" Williams, Jr. and his entire
crew received a startling "wake up call" one night when an object dropped
from the sky, passed through the aft rotor system and impacted the port
rear section of YK-17. It was determined to have been either a dud
flare or dud mortar round. Took a while to repair the damage.

being heartily toasted by all.

One of our USO show groups from
Australia. Unfortunately did not get to meet the girl shown so don't
know her name. Too bad.
