    Buddy, all war is a fucking nightmare. Ask someone who's been in one.

  • @Kharkovkid

    You're right, but so is Wilford Hall. At that time it was the premiere hospital in the Air Force. I believe that some of the POWs with injuries were sent on to Lackland/Wilford Hall but they wouldn't have landed at Lackland, no runway. More likely Kelly AFB, next door. Also, they would have most likely used a C-9 Nightingale to transport them there (DC9, civilian designation) and not a C-141A. BTW I was a POL troop stationed at Clark AB when all of this happened.

    I thought Clark AB first, but nothing matches up- I was there. If memory serves, after the POWs were given physicals and a little rest at Clark, they were flown on to Travis. I'd Like to know wherre this footage was taken as well.

  • I was at Clark AB Philippines when the POWs flew out of Hanoi; I was a POL troop then. I had the honor of being one of the refuelers who serviced the first POW C141 to come in.
