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.

C-130-E In Flight Over Vietnam

C-130-E cruising in clear skies over Vietnam 1972. Tail info indicated this plane was manufactured in 1963 and originated from airbase in Lakenheath, UK. All the Southeast Asia C-130’s were on “loan” to the theater from home basis throughout the world … mostly USA bases like Dyess (DY), Little Rock (LK), 345th TAS CCK Taiwan (DL), etc.
