(1) BienHoa flight line: In flight emergency coming
in!
(2) "Hey legs
don't I look spiffy in my new jet!"
An A-37 aircraft taxing by some hangers oblivious
to the emergency.
If you look through the hanger just above the pilot's
head you can see
a crashing C-7 Caribou about to slam into the hanger!
The pilot was
looking at us and we were yelling and waving frantically
at him. He
never knew what the hell we were shouting about.
[Fortunately, the Caribou stopped just short of
crashing into the hanger!]
(3) SP jeep wreck. It was full of SPs returning
from a party the
South Vietnam Air Force SPs were giving for the
3rd SPS at the
Officer's Culb. No one was killed, but several SP's
were hurt.
(And No... I wasn't in the jeep!)
(5) Bien Hoa Base Commander's BQ: Morgan Raymond
guy standing to my left is also a SP but I don't
remember his name.
(6) Bien Hoa Bunker duty: Morgan Raymond. My brother
took the photo.
(7) Bien Hoa Range, 40mm: We had just gotten them
checked out on them. I think they were called xm174's?
They were
mounted on the A.P.C.'s just in time for the TET
season.
(8) Bien Hoa Range,40mm: Rounds exploding down
range.
(9) Bien Hoa Range, 40mm: This is what is left of
a jeep. I don't
know if this jeep was the jeep the SP's wrecked.
Maybe they wanted
us to get rid of the evidence!! HA. By today's standard's,
the
40mm (XM174) is an antique, but in 1970 they were
AWESOME!
