Memoir Vietnam & SE Asia 1972

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.

Saigon Passenger Terminal?

Tan Son Nhut Airfield, Saigon, 1973. View from C-130 parked on ramp. Often we received flight passengers that walked from the direction of the large white building ... therefore I assume this was some kind of passenger terminal. Blog readers please correct me if wrong. Red emergency vehicle departs on left with a bus and truckload of soldiers visible in front of building. Commonly seen ... several white-shirted Vietnamese airport workers milling around on ramp.
