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 Foot Bridge
On short R&R in Taiwan (1973) in between standard multi-week C-130 Vietnam assignments. Often took day trips into the rugged mountains that form north-south spine along the length of the island. Here a very long foot bridge spans a swiftly flowing river. They should have charged money to cross the bridge since it was as exciting as an amusement park ride given the swinging and swaying with each step high over the rapids. Fortunately there was some loose netting to give some measure of protection.
