“A review of the Federal Register reveals that some C-123s were used to actually spray herbicide in Vietnam. 80 Fed. Reg. 35,246 (June 19, 2015). For this reason, the presumption of herbicide exposure under 38 C.F.R. § 3.307 (a)(6)(v) is limited to contact with C-123 aircraft known to have been used to spray an herbicide agent during the Vietnam era. The affected reserve units and dates of service for affected crew members were those assigned to Pittsburgh International Airport, Pennsylvania (1972-1982), Westover Air Force Base and Hanscom Field Air Force Base, Massachusetts (1972-1982), and Lockbourne/Rickenbacker Air Force Base, Ohio (1969-1986). The affected active duty units and dates of service for affected crew members were as follows: Hurlburt Auxiliary Field, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (1970-1973), Langley Air Force Base, Virginia (1962-1963, 1970-1973), Luke Air Force Base, Arizona (1970-1973), Tainan Air Field, Taiwan (1969-1970), Howard Air Force Base, Panama (1970-1973), Osan Air Base, South Korea (1970-1973), and Clark Air Force Base, Philippines (1969-1970).”
