C-130 crash.

Hi, I am helping the brother of a VR-7 C-130 co-pilot who was lost in a crash in Vietnam on June 17th 1966 (took off from Cam Ranh Airport and flew to the former Cape Varella lighthouse (Mui Dien), 2.5 miles offshore of which the aircraft exploded and hit the water). Does anyone have and recollection of this area and if there was antiaircraft fire from the cape? The accident report just says they think hostile fire brought it down but there is no reference to actual gun fire in the report being see.

Thanks

Bob Bergstrom
