Oh yes I was stationed at Sangley 63-65. I worked on the flight line. The Sea Sprite helo was new from the factory. We had a VIP plaque "mfgr Kamen Novelty Co." It was junk we sent it back, and recevied a H34. It was great.. There was a large SEATO operation in 64. Thats why the Ausie and Brit A/C. Thanks for the memory..

@whit444 The SEATO operation was called Operation LIGTAS. Our aircraft where painted with red kangaroos courtesy of the Aussies. We returned the favor with miniature Pelicans.

Air Force designations are EC121 and C-47. US Navy designation were WV-2 and R4D

it's nice to see sangley point back then, and compare to what it looks now.. hoping there'll be more aircraft in the years to come..

Actually USAF fighters are F-102's and not F-106s.

how did you make the video look so vintage???

[rjsacs]

Because they are vintage? The videos were made from 8mm movie film from 1964 to 1966.
