Tan Son Nhut Airbase, Saigon, 1972. Puddled ramp shows taxiing South Vietnamese C-47 Gooney Bird; tail number 0-49814 .... probably configured to carry passengers. In the distant center of photo is a red-signed "PEDROS" USAF squadron building ... to the left is one of the PEDROS HH43 rescue helicopters at the ready. Pedros squadrons were often scrabbled to provide air rescue to downed air crews and others in perilous situations.
