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 Turboprop Egine Machanics
Literally immersed in their work, two C-130-E engine mechanics working on port side, outboard Allison T56-A-7A turboprop engine on intensely hot ramp at DaNang 1972. Good comparison showing the scale of the complex hybrid systems.
