Corporal L.B. Rice

Shortly after I joined the unit as a crew chief in early in 1965.
I remained for about one year and attained the rank of L/Sgt and
accumulated 365 in flight hours before leaving for Officer Candidate Training at Camp Borden.
We were absorbed with 1 Hel Pl under Maj CH Reid
Our detachment was relocated th St Hubert, Que.
My last trip was from Rivers to Saint Hubert and took over 11 hours flying time.
