Memoir Vietnam & SE Asia 1972

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.

Airlift at Phu Cat

Crooked and blurred, not one of my highest quality photos, but this shows one helicopter giving another a lift at the end of a cable. I think it might be a Bell UH-1 Huey and a CH-47 twin rotor Chinook? Reminds me a bit of movie Apocalypse Now where the Naval River Boat was carried into the river mouth by one of Major Kilgore’s rotary aircraft. This was at Phu Cat, Vietnam – 1972.
