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.

Joe on R+R at Pattya Beach, Thailand
Joe, our trusty navigator from Texas enjoying a tall warm beer on small boat we rented while taking a break from flying. 1972 location at Pattya Beach, Thailand on the Gulf of Thailand (Bay of Bangkok). Pattya was/is a popular resort for Europeans with tiny bathing suits. This brew was guaranteed to produce major headaches. Note trinkets around Joe’s neck … he was a kind-hearted sucker for kids that were constantly trying to sell such things to GIs.
