spent 15 months at nkp 1968-69...weapons specialist for jolly green giants rescue...m60's on hh3e's, smoke grenades, tnt and comp b grenades, squadron m16's...photos bring back many old memories...sincere thanks
Spent a year there in 70-71. Some of the nicest people on the planet. Lived right on the river, watched the light show at night over the ho chi trail.
I grew up in NKP Provence after the GIs left. All the years I lived there I only was on the base once or twice. It is now used as a commercial airport as well as Thai Airforce. Funny how things change and stay the same. The corugated metal was still used for parking lots and for the area where the planes parked for loading. I still remember how tires sqweaked on that stuff.
WOW, some really great pics. I was stationed there myself 73-74. Great times. I was living in Camp Tarbox when I wasn't staying downtown that is. All round great experience.
I was there 67 - 68, motor pool, drove the Base Ops flighttline truck. Loved taking "backseat" rides....O-1, UH-1, T-28. I was just a dumb kid then, 63 now. Thanks for the vid, it was fantastic.
I was with 1987th Comm Sq working at Base Switchboard, Base Comm Center and up at Invert Comm Center for 15 glorious months, Jun 72 to Sep 73. Met and married my wife there, too. The pix bring back some great memories ... Thanks.
