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.

Da Nang C-130 Engine Art
DaNang 1973 ... Palletized aircraft engine ready for loading onto our C-130. Interesting how aluminum pallet is suspended from heavy duty forklift with chains so as to be able to rest the big load on the tracked rollers of the C-130 cargo bay. The engine is encased with platstic bag to keep it clean ... someone with an artistic flare decorated wrap with happy face, flowers, and serial number.
