Comments:	Russell Robbins was the commander of the 94th Signal Detachment, our avionics section. Russell was flying as a door gunner on a 2nd platoon aircraft on a mission south of Chu Lai. A low level engine failure resulted in a crash. Lt. Robbins had either failed to buckle in or had unbuckled his seat belt. He was thrown out of the aircraft upon impact and died as he was struck by the rotor blade. The other three crewmen were unharmed. To see this aircraft, go to our home page, click on pictures, then click on R.J. Williams photos. This was aircraft 715. RIP!
