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.

A-4 Skyhawk at Bien Hoa Vietnam
A Douglas A-4 Marine Skyhawk parked in an array of revetments at Bien Hoa Airbase, Vietnam - 1972. The A-4 also could be carrier based and was a single jet engine light attack aircraft used by both the Navy and Marines. Functionally it was a successor to the single piston engine driven A-1 also used extensively in Vietnam.
