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.

Taiwan Mountain Basin
Time permitting during an occasional home stand back in Taiwan, we would take a ride into the rugged, but beautiful mountain chain running north-south along the length of the island. Here one of the crewmembers in our squadron takes a refreshing dip into a crystal clear pool. The water collected in a natural rock basin with clean circulating water coming in and out via waterfalls. An incredible spot off the lone meandering road that crossed the mountains ... total isolation as the terrain was not suitable for habitation.
