My Dad, at that time Capt. John E. Hockenberger, flew this plane over Vietnam. The plaque in the foreground includes his story. He performed a split-S maneuver, in this very plane, to avoid a SAM that was locked on the plane. If it wasn’t for the maneuver, the plane and crew may have been lost. He received a Flying Cross for his actions that day. He was an extraordinary man. Thanks for making these pictures available for all to see. Daniel Hockenberger
