This is a webpage about then-Captain Roger Locher, who successfully evaded capture longer than any other US military aircrewman shot down over enemy territory during the Vietnam War and was rescued after 23 days. It's not about his crew chief, so why were there more pictures on this page of the crew chief than there were of Locher?

I've deleted all of those except for one with the crew chief and Major Lodge.

(In the interest of full disclosure, as my username suggests, I was an F-4 backseater like Locher, but was still in ROTC when Vietnam ended.)PhantomWSO (talk) 06:41, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Awards and decorations are missing for a legitimate hero. He’s still alive… you should try to find out and include it in your article. 136.26.160.147 (talk) 04:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
