Sgt. Foyster "Willy" Williams, Jr. and his entire crew received a startling "wake up call" on the night of April 13, 1970 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.
