Kimmith Call Sign: DUSTOFF 299 Unit: 2nd Plt/421st Med Co.(AA) Schweinfurt, Germany Time Frame: 1974-77 E-mail: dust0ff739@yahoo.com Message: I flew as a flight medic with the above unit, I was operations NCO and training NCO, We lost a crew and a/c 15739 on march 15th 1975. The pilot was CW2 John Johnson, co-pilot was Desmond P. Downey, c/e was Earl Rankhorn, and the flight medic was Harvey Salas. Harvey took my place on March 15th 1975 , so I could have my birthday off. Rhis has been hard on me ever since. Birthdays are not the same since then; he died in my place. Hopefully someday I will join you all for a reunion. Would like to see you all and folks from the 421st that were with me during that time frame. Happy holidays to you all.
