Personal photos/text taken in/out of Vietnam combat zone from perspective of copilot on USAF C-130 345th Tactical Airlift Crew. Not just about the war, but also about the people/places of the region during 1972. This is where I got my first Nikon film SLR which turned into lifelong passion albeit now Canon digital SLR. The photos are recent digital scans from old 35mm slides wasting away in hot/cold attic for 40 years. Extensive Photoshop editing has been used to make them somewhat presentable.

105 Howitzers at Nha Trang
Ten 105 howitzers lining the ramp at what I think is Nha Trang Airbase in Vietnam 1972. Barrels and breaches of guns sealed to keep out contaminates. Photo taken from runway side of ramp looking Southwest toward coastal hills. Nha Trang is on the South Chine Sea of South Central Vietnam with beautiful beaches … I believe it is a highly commercialized resort today.
