TBS December 1964; Chu Lai 1965-67

Bill,
If you are referring to LtCol Alexander Wilson I go see him on a weekly basis.
He is trying to remember the exact time-line from landing to first F-4s arriving.
Thanks for any information you may have.

I have a couple of dates...
First A-4 landed on 1 June 65 (VMA-225).
F-4's arrived in Sept. 66 (VMFA-314).
The last MAG-12 squadron in Chu Lai, VMA-311, was reassigned to MAG-13 in Feb. 70. And we were all gone by the end of Sept. '70.
