Hi! My Father was also a helicopter mechanic working on Hueys based out of Fairbanks Alaska during these times and also reported that he thinks he was exposed and remembers seeing barrels somewhere in the helicopters or nearby...he has ishemic heart disease and lung issues including COPD...I can be reached at 323-741-0044 Shannon (my office number) I would like to talk to anyone else that may have been there during that time

Hello! I am wondering if anyone here can help me help my father an Army Vet who was also a helicopter mechanic during the same years you are discussing above. He stated to me that he remembers barrels with orange stripes on them that were used for AO. I am attempting to gather more information and send in a claim for him. His name is Frank Travers-he was a drummer at the time and would sneak off the base at night to go into Fairbanks to play...unfortunately he went into the reserves after being in Alaska and he was shot in the head by a police officer as a passenger in a car and since then has struggled to survive on social security and a measly 140 from the VA-he has heart disease and lung issues (I think from exposure) and many deficits from the bullet still in his head-I am desperate to get him more money from the VA and any help from others that may have been there at the same time would be wonderful. I can be reached at 323-741-0044 (my office number). Shannon
