Early '66 at Phan Rang AB. Tents set up.

No ice for the nasty TAB diet drinks or Past
Blue Ribbon beer but the hard stuff worked.

Always good to be early so you didn't
have to wash in nasty water.

---

A priority to get those bunkers built.

---

Practice at the range.

Flight time with the 82nd airborne.
They could always use a door gunner.

My Current Bio

I arrived at Phan Rang AB in June of 1966. We flew up from Saigon
in a C-47 and landed on a corrugated metal runway. We set up tents
and beds and slept with an M-16 at our side. I got out of the
service in August of 1968. I then got married and we lived in
Florida. We retired to North Carolina and now just winter in Fla.
Our passion has always been travel and we have seen much of the
world. Got back to Vietnam last winter. Had a wonderful trip.
