Sgt. Foyster "Willy" Williams, Jr. and his entire
crew received a startling "wake up call" one night when an object dropped
from the sky, passed through the aft rotor system and impacted the port
rear section of YK-17. It was determined to have been either a dud
flare or dud mortar round. Took a while to repair the damage.
