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.

Going home 1973. Pictured our some of our C-130 squadron pilots waiting in military air terminal to go back to USA after a year and a half of flying missions in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. This was the first time since we arrived that we were not dressed in our flight suits. Lots of memories to reflect upon for a lifetime.
