Wayne Landen was the first of the Air Commando AOC commanders after Colonels Tyrrell and Aderholt cut the deal to supply 1 SOW TDY cadre to each AOC. Wayne was on station when Hoss was lost. This photo was taken at his farewell party in the Air America/CASI hanger at L39. Wayne is the gent with the hat and beer. His replacement is on his left, Karl Leuchsner. The guy with the good looking legs is his line chief. (Copyright Thomas E. Lee 1968, 1999-2007)
