World War Two, Cold War & Beyond: The many lives of LST-786

Image January 6, 2021 Hutchins AAron

Clicking/tapping on the pics make them bigger.

Landing Ship Tank (LST) 786 was born in 1944, in Pennsylvania, and operated by the U.S. Coast Guard to support actions against Imperial Japan, in the Pacific Ocean during World War Two.

This is just one of thousands of pages of LST-786’s War Dairy stored in the National Archives. LST-786 was part of the LST-542 class of landing ships.

LST-786 was decommissioned and placed in reserve in 1946, Columbia River Group, Oregon. In 1955, LST-786 was named USS Garrett County (Maryland).

Recommissioning acceptance trials, San Francisco, California. LST-786 was recommissioned in 1966, for action in Viet Nam. Garrett County was one of four World War Two LSTs recommissioned for action as riverine mother ships.

Now Patrol Craft Tender AGP-786 at Guam, on its way to Viet Nam. Garrett County arrived on-station in March 1967.

On the Co Chien River, Viet Nam, in June 1968. Serving as a Patrol Boat River(PBR)/Seawolf (USN Huey gunship) mother ship, officially known as a Game Warden ship.

AGP-786 on the Mekong Delta, Viet Nam, Autumn 1968

UH-1B Seawolf (Huey gunship) on the deck of AGP-786, Mekong Delta, 1969.

Despite that supposedly/officially LST-786 became AGP-786 for the Viet Nam conflict, this log book title page shows the USS Garrett County was still being referred to as LST-786 in April 1969.

In 1971, AGP-786 was given to the Republic of Viet Nam (South Viet Nam) and became Republic of Viet Nam Ship (RVNS) HQ-801 Can Tho.

In 1975, South Viet Nam was overrun by North Viet Nam. The crew of HQ-801 fled to Philippines, where the old ship became Barko ng Republika ng Pilipinas (BRP) Kalinga Apayao LT-516.

LT-516 seen at A.G.& P. Shipyard, Bauan, Batangas, in 1988.

A photo taken in 2006 (posted on Shipspotting.com). It was decommissioned in 2010 and supposedly scrapped in 2012. However, the List of decommissioned ships of the Philippine Navy says 516 was“partially beached at Naval Base Cavite”.

There are photos taken in 2011 showing the ship, listing, at Naval Station Sangley Point, aka Naval Base Cavite.

B-25 Flamin’ Maimie was as cold as ice!

Image October 23, 2020 Hutchins AAron

Before there was NASA, there was NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics). Photos from the NASA archives.

Looks to be Flamin’ Maimie before NACA’s many modifications. NACA photo, 1947.

NACA had a XB-25E called Flamin’ Maimie. If you look up Flamin’ Maimie you’ll get a couple of dominant results; a jazz song from the 1920s by the band The Coon-Sanders Nighthawks, and a big-hair female track team from Abilene, Texas, who became the first female sports team to make the cover of Sports Illustrated, in 1964.

NASA photo, 1947.

While the jazz-dance song and the track team were about ‘hot’ women, NACA’s Flamin’ Maimie was about being as cold as ice.

NASA photo, 1947.

Originally the XB-25E was used by the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) from 1942-44. It was a modified B-25C. The hot exhaust gasses were routed through the flying surfaces of the bomber. It was successful, but apparently the USAAF decided the added weight of the hot air de-icing system wasn’t justified. In July 1944, NACA became the new owner of Flamin’ Maimie.

NASA photo, 1949.

NACA added these protruding therm-o-meters.

NASA photo, 1950.

NACA used Flamin’ Maimie to study new de-icing technologies, and the processes which caused aircraft to collect ice. The program operated out of Ohio, from the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory (now known as NASA Glenn Research Center), until 1953.

NASA photo, 1950.

I was not able to find any information as to what happened to XB-25E Flamin’ Maimie, other than NACA “transferred” it in February 1953.

Afghanistan: Mirage 2000D crash recovery/demolition

U.S. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sergeant Jeff Kaus.

On 24MAY2011, an Armée de l’Air NATO two seat Mirage 2000D crashed in Afghanistan. The crew ejected and survived.

U.S. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sergeant Jeff Kaus.

U.S. Army and Marines, along with French and Italian troops, conducted an 81 miles (130 kilometers) combat logistics patrol to retrieve the French jet. Some personnel arrived by V-22 Osprey.

USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Jeff Kaus, 25MAY2011.

There is confusion about where the plane crashed; Lieutenant Colonel Eric de. Lapresle, of the Armée de l’Air, said it happened 100 km West of the city of Farah (in Farah Province), but U.S. DoD information (attributed to USMC 12th Marine Corps District) stated it happened northwest of Forward Operating Base Delaram in Nimruz Province, which is South of Farah (some DoD reports incorrectly put Delaram in Helmand Province which is Southeast of Farah).

USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Jeff Kaus, 25MAY2011.

For more confusion, some of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) reports claims the Mirage is a 2000-5F while the French air force says it is a two seat 2000D. The 2000-5F is an upgrade of the single seat 2000C, however, the photos clearly show a two seater. To make things more confusing, some USMC sources refer to the Mirage as an ‘F-2000’.

USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Jeff Kaus, 27MAY2011.

The French Mirage 2000D was operating with a Mirage F1 in assisting Italian NATO troops who had come under fire. It’s thought the Mirage 2000D developed technical problems.

The aircraft was considered a total loss, and to hasten the recovery effort it was decided to quickly remove the wings by using C4 plastic explosives. ‘Purple-K’ was poured into the wing root to try and prevent the spread of any internal fire that might be caused by the explosion. Note the detonating cords leading to the blocks of C4.

A member of the 266th Range Squadron, Idaho Air National Guard, works to off-load a 1:1 scale simulated 1S91 SURN tank at Fort Irwin National Training Center, California, June 2019.

The 266th played the bad guy (Opposition Force, OpFor) trying to shoot down Idaho’s A-10Cs.

This is supposed to simulate the 1S91 SURN radar for the 2K12 Kub (NATO code name SA-6 Gainful) missile system. It’s made mainly of steel and aluminum.

The 266th also used a real radar to simulate enemy radar signals.

Final Flight of the Fort Polk Kiowas

“They were great birds to fly. You could land them anywhere, in any type of environment; they were great for what we were using them for here.”-Captain Tyler Smith, Bravo Company commander, 1st Bn, 5th Avn Reg

The U.S. Army’s 1st Battalion, 5th Aviation Regiment OH-58C Kiowas fly over Fort Polk, Louisiana, for the last time, 09JUL2020. The Kiowa helicopters are being replaced with UH-72 Lakotas.

Farewell water salute.

The U.S. Army’s oldest operational aircraft is a Kiowa, tail # O-16696, now to become a static display ‘gate guard’ at Fork Polk. Three of the Fort Polk Kiowas will be cannibalized for spare parts while the other four retiring Kiowas will be used by sheriff departments in Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

The Kiowa family of helicopters have been used by the U.S. Army since 1969. Ultimately, 2-thousand-2-hundred different versions of the Kiowa would be built between 1966 and 1989. The U.S. Army’s last operational ‘C’ Kiowas are based at Fort Irwin (National Training Center), California, but will also be retired soon.

Idaho militia’s European deployment canceled, suddenly deployed to Middle East

Image May 16, 2020 Hutchins AAron

Ostensibly the deployment of Idaho Army National Guard’s ‘Snake River’ 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team to Europe was canceled due to Coronavirus fears. Yet, seemingly without warning, Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing, and 190th Fighter Squadron, was suddenly deployed to ‘somewhere’ in the Middle East.

Idaho Air Guard’s A-10C Thunderbolt-2s fly alongside USAF F-15E Eagles from Mountain Home AFB, 15MAY2020.

124th personnel began deploying on 11MAY2020, but several Idaho A-10Cs took part in a supposed CoViD-19 morale boosting fly-over of Idaho cities, along with U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles from Mountain Home Air Force Base, on 15MAY2020.

The deployment, to an undisclosed location for an undisclosed amount of time, of more than 4-hundred personnel makes it the second largest deployment for the 124th Fighter Wing.

Idaho’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, which includes personnel from Oregon, Montana and Nevada, was to deploy between 3-thousand to 4-thousand-4-hundred (depending on the news source) soldiers to take part in NATO’s Defender Europe 2020 wargames, but that was suddenly canceled in March due to CoViD-19.

The deployment would have made the 2020 Defender Europe wargames the third largest wargames in Europe since the end of the Cold War. However, Defender Europe 2020 was not halted and just got the ‘green light’.
