    T-28pilot replied to sluggo's topic in C-130 General

    I went back to Vietnam arriving one year ago today. I was a C-130A pilot with the 35th TAS out of Naha 1969-1971. I went back in the C-130E with the 61st TAS out of Little Rock in May 1972. Driving through An Loc, I stopped to visit the famous "soccer field" that we dropped CDS everyday in May and June 1972. They have built a school there now; but, the whole town knows the story. A also visited Loc Ninh, Tay Ninh and Bu Dop. The next day we went to Dong Xoia where the runway is now a major boulevard. Qui Nhon is the same way. The last time I visited this sight someone had put a pictire up of Dalat Cam Ly showing a C-130 on the ground that had been damaged in a landing incident. That was a 35th bird. If anyone has a copy, I would appcreciate getting it. I also visited Kon Tum, NhaTrang and Danang. Many of the revetments and hangars that loolked like quonset huts are still in place. I have attached a picture of my youngest daughter Emily and I walking down the abandoned airstrip at Bu Dop where I had some challenging times during the invasion of Cambodia in the Spring of 1970.
