After I figure out the best way to upload more photos, I will begin doing so. Meanwhile, here are some shots of the Da Nang Air Base C-123s, of controversial defoliation fame (Operation Ranch Hand).
My next uploads will include many photos of the airmen of the USAF I worked with and photographed.
Those folks that I can identify, I will. If you know any of the unidentified personnel, I would certainly appreciate your input through the comments feature below.
Thank you for your continued patience, if there is anyone still interested in this blog...
