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 Ground Maintenance

C-130 ground maintenance ... can't recall airbase but it must have been major location given size of control tower. A Follow Me maintenance vehicle with air/electrical cart in tow providing power to the aircraft while engines are shut down. Appears to be special purpose Military 707 on far side of C-130 (not a KC-135 (707) refueler.
