This front page of the Highland Air Times, the 633rd Special Operations Wing's base newspaper, dated 13 October 1969, documents a pivotal moment for the 6th Special Operations Squadron at Pleiku Air Base: Silver Star medals awarded to A-1 Skyraider ('SPAD') pilots for valor near Quang Ngai City, alongside the announcement of the squadron's inactivation as part of the broader American drawdown in Vietnam. Together, the stories capture both the combat record and the closing chapter of a Vietnam-era Air Commando unit. Project: 219418
