Bernie King, SSGt in 6200 SPS 1970-71
bnking@roadrunner.com

I was stationed at Clark from May 1970- May 1971. Worked in law enforcement and then as desk sergeant. Had a good time while I was there, especially on Fields Ave that was owned by a Fillipino and her SSgt. husband of whose name slips by me now after all these years, Mabalacat gate and the gate at the base landfill with the sari-sari store. I'm trying to locate a shoulder patch for my collection from the squadron. If anyone can get one or has one I would be interested in obtaining it.

Hello,  I was at Clark AB from Dec 1966 to Dec 1968, I was a Staff Sergeant (promoted to Tech in Sept 68)  I was in Base Flight, Crew Chief on C-54 108 and 502.  We flew to Viet Nam almost daily to bring R&R troops to Manila, RPI.  It was a crazy time with Tet and Search and Destroy and lots of wounded being med evac to Clark Hospital.  We also flew to Taipei and Ching Chang Chung and Hong Kong as well as to Japan and Thailand and all the bases there + Bangkok.  Those old C-54s were almost worn out but we somehow patched them up enough to get them to Viet Nam and back to Clark. I lived in the barracks until April of 1967 when I got my wife and son to Manila and then got them military dependant status.  My youngest son was born at the Clark Hospital on Aug 26 1967. We left Clark in Dec 1968. I went to the University of Nebraska and on to Officer Training School where I gave up my 5 Stripes for a gold bar...I retired at McChord AFB, WA and went to work for Boeing 25 years ago.  I'd be interested in contact from any of the Base Flight guys 1966 to 1969. Wwe called it "Antique Airlines"  Low and Slow,, you call, we haul, you-all"  6200 ABW Base Flight.

Jim Magoon, Aug 69 - Apr 71
goonie@metrocast.net

I was stationed at Clark from Aug 69 thru Apr 71 with the USAF Postal/Courier Service, Det 1400.  I was a Sgt (E-4) working the Courier side of the Postal Detachment and was located on the flightline next to the base terminal.  I was an administrative specialist.  My job was to process the courier material and send it to other courier detachments throughout the world.  I was hoping to connect with some of the other people that I worked with at this site.  I remember some names (Lt Edward Baroncini from Ct. - SSgt Dean Gill from Hemet, CA. - Sgt Lloyd Duetch from IL - SSgt Lippencourt) to mention just a few. I was only about 19 or 20 years old at the time.  I'm from NH.  Married a Filipino named Tess (introduced to me by Dean & Lloyd).  Any contact with any of these people or others that may remember me will be greatly appreciated.  Thanx.

Larry G. Nuqui, MSG, Retired USAF, Feb 1979 to July 1991
lgnuqui@adelphia.net

Was there during the Pinatubo Eruption in Balibago while everyone evacuated to Subic and Manila. Assigned to the 13th Air Force Medical Center and was the IDMT assigned to the 13th Air Force Cadre and deployed to almost all Team Spirits at Kimhae, RSOK and several of the Cobra Gold at Korat, Thailand. Also assigned to the 656th and 657th Tactical Hospital. When I was not deployed I worked at the Base Hospital on the Med-Surg Floor and then became the Shift Leader working in the Emergency Room. Worked as NCOIC of Nursing Supply, NCOIC of Labor and Delivery, NCOIC of the Public Health Clinic. Show me your gluteus and I'll tell you if I gave you a shot for the clap at one time or another (Trobocin Pushers). If you were TDY you probably paid me a visit there too. When I ran out of needles I then moved on to be NCOIC of Nursing Education where I handled the SABC (Self Aid Buddy Care Instructor Course) and also was responsible for the CPR training for the Hospital and the Base. This included Camp John Hay, Wallace Air Station, Camp O'Donnell and the US Embassy.  So I must have run into you at least once during my stay there on base or downtown in the Ville.
