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.

ARVN Soldiers Boarding C-130
A group of about 50 ARVN soldiers waiting to board C-130 via rear cargo doors - 1973. Unclear where this was, but appears to be a small remote dirt airstrip that we often flew into in central part of Vietnam. This 35mm slide was in very rough condition thus the appearance despite about an hour spent on extensive Photoshop processing ... turned out to be similar to what some Photoshoppers might call intensional woodcuteffect.
