This is very interesting stumbling upon this, my Dad is shown at 1:35 waving he is on the right. He looks so different! Thanks for the video!

[siberianwinter57]

@siberianwinter57 Well our left sorry, did you work with him by any chance?

[UncleJun]

@siberianwinter57 You mean Randy (the tall one of the 2)? I worked with him, not by job function but in Malongo. I used to work on his computer equipment a lot. He worked for the Finance group. I also traveled with him a lot since we were on the same rotation, such as when this shot was taken. Say Hi for me and show him this video. If that is him, then he is also in the beach seen towards the end, doing some sun bathing...

@siberianwinter57 And if you are referring to Randy, he is also in the helicopter at 00:23. We were either leaving Malongo, or coming back in. We did so many chopper flights together.

My dad spent six years in Cabinda - 1981 - 1987. This video is a special reminder of all the time he spent away from us. He passed away in 2001 largely due to the rigors of his travel schedule with Gulf but this is a how he supported our family of six.

[UncleJun]

@rockfordfiles1977 So sorry to hear that. I'm sure he worked hard to support your family. I started there in 1989 so that was a couple years before me.  I hope the video gave you good reminders and helps you to relate to what he went through. Thanks for watching.

@menreun How so?? Look at the size of the AS-400 in the computer room and the work terminals. How about the Ford F-150's at the beginning? We got new company vehicles like every 18 months. Were you there? Maybe I know you.
