Please include the following information for SCOTT FERRIS MOORE, JR, date of
death Feb-20-1970.

Scott worked in the admin office at the main base of Helicopter Combat
Support Squadron SEVEN, (HC-7), he desired to see what the SEADEVIL - BIG
MOTHER crews did while on detachment.  His request to go south was granted.
A "BIG MOTHER" SH-3A helo flew from the carrier to Danang to pickup several
persons.  The helo arrived along side the USS CONSTELLATION, and was held
off deck, while flight ops were in progress.  The helo had eleven persons
aboard.  Holding a hover the intermediate gear box broke, the helo descended
to the water and turned upside down. The crew of the helo searched the helo
as it was sinking, Chief PACK was pulled from the wreckage, unconscious and
was revived by the crew.  SCOTT was not found and presumed killed in the
accident.

SCOTT was and is an inspiration to many and to date he lives on.
