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 Cargo Bay Silhouettes
Yet another photo looking out rear end of the "Herky" ... nickname for the Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport. From a photography viewpoint I like the backlit silhouette of the crew members and ground personnel waiting on a load of cargo ... our loadmaster Jim is prominent on the right in his "hurry up and wait" stance. Originally taken in color, I thought the photo had more impact when rendered in black and white. Somewhere in Vietnam - 1972.
