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.

Hammock at Nakon Phnom Thailand (NKP)
Hanging out in hammock strung up on wooden walkway outside barracks at Nakon Phnom Airbase, Thailand -1972. These nylon hammocks were very common, and often used in cargo area of C-130 on long trips when deadheading in and out of Vietnam. If you didn't have back ache to begin with, you would after lying in these things for a while.
