Ric,

My first flight in anything other than an airliner was in a USAF Gooney 
Bird, an orientation flight around 1964-65 when I was an ROTC cadet in 
college. Unforgettable, and in retrospect I?m surprised that the Air Force 
had any operational C-47s still in inventory that late.

Actually, I just googled my own question and found a post on Quora that says 
they were used as gunships as late as 1970 in VN, and in USAF or ANG 
inventory until about 1975.

Thanks for the memory jog.
