An OP 2E from Navy squadron VO 67 based at the Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand. In commision just over a year from Feb 67 to June 68 they lost 3 aircraft and 20 crew. Very interesting story.
While I was in VW 1 based out of Guam we landed there in our squadrons C121J during a cargo haul to assist one of the regular haulers. Very interesting place, all the runways and ramps were WW II era steel landing mats, that was cool landing on that when they were wet. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
I think the photo is at Davis Monthan AFB for storage ?
