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.

C-130 ground crew
Young Vietnamese woman who was part of ground crew at Tan Son Nhut Airbase in Saigon – 1972. She is standing between the paratroop door and the small round observation window on left side of the C-130 cargo bay … probably staying out of hot sun waiting on a load of cargo. These workers generally wore camo jumpsuits and hats loaded with patches of many of the flying squadrons.
