Happy New Year everyone. I've been a frequent player on the Vietnam freeze tag server.  Great people playing there, always a good time.

Hi Blackbart, Yes sig & avatar are both of me during my year long vacation in scenic Southeast Asia. I see that we belonged to the same vacation club.  Where were you?

I was an artist and photographer for the army from 2-69 to 2-70. Stationed at Camp Davies on the opposite side of Saigon from Ton Son Nhut. I covered III & IV Corps from Tay Ninh to the Delta.  I flew out of Ton Son Nhut many times going out on missions. As my buddy NumNutz can tell you, I have quite a few pictures and I would be happy to post if you guys are interested.  Interesting side note, Combat Engineers wanted me to work for them which would have been great as I would have covered all 4 corps zones with them plus 2 trips a year to Japan. Unfortunately my unit would not approve the transfer.

Doubtful Sarge, I may have a couple of shots of revetments with planes or helicopters but I never had an assignment there. Just flew in and out. I may also have a few at Bien Hoa but I have to look through boxes of color slides to find them.  I've been trying to scan them a few at a time but I have a long way to go to get them all.

Blackbart, I have a couple of shots of an airfield in the Delta, might be Vinh Long. How can I get the pictures to you?

The more I look at the pics the more I'm sure it isn't Vihn Long...When we arrived in Vihn Long it was a dirt strip when I left it was the third largest airstrip in country...We were sent there from Dong Tam (where we were based) during TET 68.  The base had been overrun by the VC and the airfield commander was shot and killeed as he entered the command bunker.  The VC thought we were the 9th inf. comming in and they didi moa'd...SmileSmile

Those  pictures were taken around June or July of 69, I don't know of any other bases that size in the Delta.  A friend of mine who was stationed in the Delta thought it was Vinh Long.  I just flew in from Long Binh on my way to Can Tho as I recall. As you can see one of the pictures was taken while we were still in the air. Here's a shot I took while on mission with the 82nd AB.
