Sierra Hotel
Me standing next to a Caribou showing the "Sierra Hotel - Charlie Stoppers" Stencil near the nose. Caribous that participated in airdrops at the siege of Dak Seang had this painted on them after a 'Bou named Sierra Hotel was credited with scoring one dead VC. The VC was found crushed under a pallet of cargo, which was dropped "outside the wire" at Dak Seang. Three Crews and three C-7As (406, 180, and 746) were lost there April 2 thru 6, 1970.
