Awesome, never knew anyone was filming me. Did not go with them I was a short timer.

I was at Korat in '72 with 4 KC-135s, operating from the east (?) ramp where the -121s, -130s, and EB-66s parked. We moved to U-Tapao in Oct to make room for the A-7s coming in from MBAFB. Great base, loved the F-105s taking off.

Col. Thomas Knowles was a great leader. Proud to have served under his command of the 354th Tactical Fighter Wing and during his leadership of the wing in Operation Linebacker II.

So cool.

Some of those guys didn't look too pleased while coming off of those 141s.

Long flight and less than 1st-class seating.
