Can anyone help here?
My father was Thomas P. (T. P.) Conlin. He served in Vietnam from July 1968 to July 1969, part of that time with the Tigerhound Covey FACs. He came back stateside and went to the National War College, then became a Vice Wing and then a Wing Commander, served in Looking Glass out of Offut, then Division Commander at Carswell. He retired and moved back to Texas after a brief stint at the Pentagon. He went into consulting work, then died of mesothelioma (from asbestos exposure) on August 7, 1996.
He loved flying with the Covey FACs, but otherwise never talked about his time in Vietnam. I would like to know more about what happened to him there. For example, I know that he got a Bronze Star, but I don’t know why. He wouldn’t talk about it.
Can you assist?

Anyone, can you help find these two guys??It's a long story but maybe you can reach back and remember the early 70's in Nam and Laos. Have been trying to run down the names of a Covey pilot and Rider for many moons now with NO luck.
I worked the Ravens as a ground controller (CCT) in late 71 and early 72 at Lima site 39, Ross Leonard was there as Raven 31 after his stint as Covey.
I guess it's just an old age thing, I feel as though i should at least try to find the names of these two warriors, pilot lost his life that day but Rider may still be kicking some where,
I have contacted John Plaster and Steve Sherman, both former SF guys in country, they've been more than eager to help, as you can see..Sherman has narrowed it down to four pilots and is working on finding the SF Rider.
I have photo's of the wreckage, that's where the tail nr. came from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Most sincerely
