Anybody know of a Joker or Jack Control in RVN?

Any of you know of any ATC, GCI, or any other aviation-type control
center or ABCC in SEA with the callsigns Joker or Jack, i.e. what
service, where located, etc. This would have been circa 1970-72.

TIA

Pretty sketchy now, but I seem to recall some part of the ARRS rescue effort
having one or more of those call signs. I know that the C-130 rescue
coordinator was "King", but there were several other possible elements in a
rescue. Sandies, Fast Movers, and the ARRS coordination centers at Danang
(37th ARRS), Saigon, (3rd ARRG), and another at NKP. If I'm anywhere close,
the guys at the Jolly Green web site will know. http://www.jollygreen.org

Finally dug it out - Joker was the Joint Rescue Coordination Center
(JRCC) at TSN. Jack was the RCC at NKP.

Thanks for clearing that up, John, I'm proud to have been fairly close! It
was a lifetime ago.
