The following passage is from the 1971 History page. On the 27th of November 1971 at 1845 hours, the last Demon aircraft to fly a scheduled mission in Vietnam touched down at Hell's Half Acre. Aircraft 177 with WO1 Hank Pietrzak, 1LT Barton, CE SP5 Ike Pena and G SP5 Jeff Lemon had flown a mission to Pleiku and back. At 1848 the blades ceased to turn, by 1915 the ship was postflighted and pushed into the revetments for the last time.
Tragically, just five years after returning from Vietnam, Hank's life was cut short on November 8, 1976. He is buried in Fox Cemetery, Sevierville, Sevier County, TN. This photo of Hank, taken by photographer Hans J. Underwood, captures a moment in time in Cheo Reo in 1971.
