I took these while working the flight line at Tan Son Nhut.  I believe they are are of the same C-118 that landed with some sort of emergency.
What I remember of this incident is shortly after they gave the all clear and the aircraft began to taxi again the the front nose gear collapsed.

1. TSN Air Base: This photo is of the heleo port across the street from the 377th SPS Barracks.
What I remember most were helicopters seemingly coming and going at all hours of the day and night.
My memory is it took me about three days before I can say I quit hearing them even when I was awake.

These photos were taken going to Biên Hòa and at their range.  And no we did not have that many left handed shooters.
They printed the picture backwards and I can't find the negatives to correct it. [corrected/Don Poss]
