6222nd ABG/AP Patch. In 1962-63, we were not yet a squadron, but about 20 Air Police assigned to the 6222nd ABG at Da Nang AB.

Me at an old French (we think) bunker somewhere. I think I posed for this one to send to my girlfriend back home...... just out of curiosity, what did you guys carry?
We had AR15s and .45s. Some of the pilots carried .38 revolvers, but most everyone had the .45s.

Da Nang flightline - I think at the very far end is the Marine area, but I'm not positive.

Da Nang flightline.

U.S. Army Caribou on Da Nang flightline. I notice the tarmac - my memory of the PSP dirt/iron link runway, I
think, is the Marine helicopter area. I remember the tarmac on the flightline, so the runways must have been concrete.

The Hueys and Mowhawks showed up in Da Nang in late '63; the view from the C123 (black & white) is just out of Da Nang.
