　　Also found this:

　　The C-123

　　PROVIDER

　　was a short-range cargo aircraft used for a variety of missions in Vietnam. On

　　03 February 1966, a C-123B (tail number 55-4537) of the 311th

　　Air Cargo Squadron departed Da Nang on a round-robin combat airlift support

　　mission. The first leg of the trip took it to Khe Sanh, thence to Dong Hai and

　　back to Khe Sanh. 

　　It departed Khe Sanh for another shuttle mission at about 4:55 in the afternoon.

　　During this leg radio

　　communications with the aircraft were lost. An extensive search was made without

　　results; neither the aircraft nor its crew could be located. Its flight

　　plan would have taken it over heavily jungled mountains. On 10 February, after

　　25 search sorties had been flown, the dedicated search effort was terminated and

　　the crew

　　was listed as Missing in Action.

　　Four Americans were aboard

　　the C-123:

　　Major James L. Carter,

　　pilot;

　　Captain Wilbur R. Brown,

　　co-pilot;

　　SGT Edward M. Parsley,

　　loadmaster; and

　　SGT Therman M. Waller,

　　flight mechanic.

　　On 09 January 1978, the Secretary of the Air Force

　　approved a Presumptive Finding of Death and Chief Master Sergeant Parlsey's

　　status was changed to Killed in Action/Body not Recovered. As of 28 May 2004, the remains of the four men have not been

　　repatriated; see our

　　PM-SEA pages

　　for current status.

　　The remains of Major Carter,

　　CMSgt Parsley, and Sgt Waller were repatriated on 19 May 2003, with

　　identification publicly announced on 07 June 2004. Burial information

　　for these three men follows:

　　Colonel James L. Carter,

　　Site 3795, Section 64, Arlington National Cemetery.

　　CMSgt Edward M. Parsley, Site 46-A-15, Section MF, Arlington National

　　Cemetery.

　　CMSgt Therman M. Waller,

　　Site 016, Row 02, Section K, Missouri Veterans Cemetery, Bloomfield,

　　Missouri.

　　Although one report has been

　　found indicating that Major Brown's remains also were recovered, as of 25 July

　　2005 the DoD PMSEA office has not made any official

　　announcement regarding his repatriation.
