Casper Aviation Platoon Organization

Welcome to CAPO.   Casper originally arrived in Bien Hoa with the 173d Airborne Brigade in 1965.  We proudly supported the "Herd" and left Bong Son, Vietnam with the Brigade in August 1971.  In 2002, we formed the Casper Aviation Platoon Organization and developed the Casper Platoon website.  To date,  we have located over 275 former Casper Crew Members.

 

About Our Group

Casper Aviation Platoon Organization has no political agenda. We are a non-profit Vietnam Veterans group and we simply provide the means to stay in touch with those fellow Casper Platoon Pilots, Crew Chiefs, Door Gunners and Mechanics who have all shared the same experiences  while serving together in Vietnam.

This very important Casper mission was successfully accomplished by providing the means to communicate with each other via the internet, our website, newsletter, email, telephone, snail mail and our annual reunions.  If you served with Casper, we encourage you to become a member of CAPO. The annual dues & donations help fun our organization's maintenance, website, publishing, postage, our annual reunion and other expenses.
