A few photos taken in Korea and maybe somewhere else all from the late 50’s.
The slides were given to me by a friend many years ago. Enjoy!

It's always really interesting to see photos taken from the tower cab, gives a much different perspective top familiar subjects.

Thanks so much for sharing them with us.......... :wink:

Great Shots ... Having flown on both the "Boxcar" and "Old Shakey" as well as th C-47 they brought back memories ... also spent some time at a bomb & gunnery range for 86's located on the banks of the Yellow Sea.

OUTSTANDING Shots! I cannot get enough color slides and photos from the Mid-50s to early 60s time frame.

Very colorful and interesting period in USAF history.

Thanks for sharing.

:D
