Last weekend I was looking through some stuff at a garage sale down the street and I found some Kodak slides in boxes and trays. When looking at them I saw 60's era military aircraft stuff in among family and vacation photos. ...so I spent $5 and bought them along with 3 small reels of USAF 16MM movie film O-1 and O-2, 20th TASS.

Interesting stuff. Lt. Col Greenwade is a name I found associated with them. He was commander of the 20th in 1967.

Here is a sample of what I have scanned so far.

O-1 stuff.








This red sign says Khe Sanh Officers Club...


Showers?


USAF Officers Club






These photos show the aftermath of an attack...

Ok, somebody help me pick my jaw up off the desk. The aircraft in this photo is EC-135P 58-0007, which later served at Langley AFB with the 6th ACCS. How do I know this? Because my ex-stepfather was flight crew with the 6th ACCS, and this was his favorite aircraft of the whole bunch.

He wound up turning into a complete knucklehead and my Mom divorced him last year, but it's still cool to see a plane I have distinct memories of from Langley in the late 70s in this pic. Any chance I could get a high-res scan of this?





Thanks for sharing these!

Lynn

I'm glad you found a connection in these pics!

I have found that a few of these airplanes still exist and some of the KC-135's are STILL FLYING for Uncle Sam!

I'll see what I can do to get you a better scan.

Thanks Zane! BTW, 007 burnt up on the ramp at Langley on 3 Jan 1980- faulty wiring in the tank for the water injection to the JT8Ds. Made a helluva mess, as I recall.

Cheers!

to all those who say going to garage sales are a waste of time, HAHA!

One day I'll get that P-40!

Nice job saving these from the trash!

Sure would like to know when / where the F-100 shots were taken, must have been early on as some are not camoed, the "F" in the arm / de-arm has an empty rear seat so it's not a "Misty", pilots helmet visor is Sqdn color, not camoed. Just an old '100 guy being critical. Ran the "Misty" MX @ PhuCat back in the day.

Nice save/find Zane!!! Wish I could find cool stuff like that around here...
