22d Tactical Air Support Squadron
The 22d Tactical Air Support Squadron (Light) was the major USAF operational unit at Binh Thuy. The squadron was activated on on 8 May 1965 and assigned to the new base in September. Organizationally, the 22d TASS was assigned to the 505th Tactical Control Group, then on 8 December 1966 to the 504th Tactical Air Support Group. These came under the command of the 22d Air Division headquartered at Tan Son Nhut Air Base near Saigon.
The squadron operated the Cessna 0-1 Birddog aircraft, 1965–1971 and the Cessna O-2A & Bs Super Skymasters aircraft, 1967-1971. Also some YOV-10D Broncos (2 EA) U.S. Marines 1st MAW detachment, OV-10As VAL-4 "Black Ponies" and some Y0-3As (1 or 2) "Quiet Star" 220th Surv Aircraft Company, 16th Aviation Group, U.S. Army.
The squadron provided aircrews in Vietnam to direct air strikes for tactical aircraft operating within the Tactical Air Control System (TACS). It also performed visual reconnaissance, convoy escort, and other missions as directed by the Tactical Air Commander. Aircraft and maintenance were provided in support of these operations within IV Corps, Republic of Vietnam, as directed by Seventh Air Force. The squadron provided aircraft and personnel in support of the Theater Indoctrination School, and field and transient maintenance support of USAF aircraft at Binh Thuy.
In 1969, the 22d TASS began closing down operations at the base as part of the general US withdrawal from South Vietnam. The squadron was moved to Bien Hoa Air Base in January 1970, with the last assigned USAF personnel leaving by the end of the month. At Bien Hoa, the assets of the 22d TASS were absorbed by the 9th Tactical Air Support Squadron and the unit was reduced to a paper organization. It was transferred without personnel or equipment to Wheeler AFB, Hawaii on 15 May 1971.

I'm so happy to be your new friend! I'm an old Army wife! My husband retired in 1995 after 20 years. We've been together since 1976! My Mama said it would never last! I was to kick that Yankee out! Glory to God! But our marriage gets stronger ever day! Thank you JESUS! I love to share my thoughts and ideas! You have a wonderful evening!

Love your fathers quote! My mother use to say when she would hear that so and so, passed away, "Well now they know the secret.... if there is really a heaven"......... I still chuckle when I think of her saying that.
