OLAA Pilot: Lt. Donald L. Engebretsen

Don Engebretsen Bio

I was born in Chicago, IL, in 1944, and grew up in Wisconsin. After graduating with a business degree from the University of Wisconsin, I enlisted in the USAF with a pilot training option after turning down a draft exempt (which would have never lasted) job with IBM. I had never been in an airplane in my life, but thought my hand-eye coordination was fine based on racing cars and motorcycles. A-1 training at Hurlburt Field in Class 69-13 followed UPT at Willie in Class 69-06.

I arrived at Pleiku for a first observation flight on 30Sep69 with Major Ed Bulka. Captain Bob Karre did most of my training and “blessed my little black heart” with a passing evaluation! My “last” flight there was on 29Oct69 as I was “moving on up” to NKP “permanently”. 6Nov69 was my first flight as a Firefly and 11Nov69 was my last. With something approaching an apology, I was ordered to take #616 back to Pleiku to eventually join what would become OLAA. It actually made my day to jump into an “H” and take us both back home in a 3 ship with Lt. Col. Jim Wold and Bob Karre. The next month was spent flying in Detachment 1 (Pleiku) on TDY orders from the 602nd waiting to merge permanently with Detachment 2 at Da Nang. Now I had a real job, flying close air support for SOG teams, SAR’s, and other missions helping our troops on the ground. I officially joined the Da Nang version of OLAA on 12Dec69 after somehow ferrying a plane to Da Nang Air Base after the infamous Spad closing party at Pleiku. After 190 missions, my last flight was on 9Jul70. I was going home early due to being “rolled back” 45 days because there was an oversupply of inbound pilots coming to fly A-1 aircraft that no longer existed (about 40 were lost during my timeframe). I always knew that those days flying with OLAA would be the best flying I would ever experience and that I had peaked in my professional life at age 26.

My next assignment was T-38’s at Columbus AFB and I left the USAF in Apr73. Of course, you will recall that was during the oil crisis induced airline hiring meltdown. So, I cashed in my GI Bill for a Falcon DA-20 type rating and waited for a call from some startup freight hauler called Federal Express. 28 years later I retired from FedEx at age 56 and have been in that status since.

I am married to the love of my life, Linda, and we have three great children and two “perfect” granddaughters and a “perfect” grandson. Life has been good to me, but nothing I have ever done in my existence has been more rewarding and frustrating to me than Vietnam. It took me a while to totally grasp how having the A-1 job with the OLAA mission was the key to avoiding being burdened with an eternal basket case attitude. We basically worked under the JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) for the Army without ROE’s (Rules of Engagement). Perfect by any standards of Warfare! What a great group of men they all were; those I served with and those I served. Those I left behind, words cannot express…
