Great Set!

After almost 40 years in the aircraft industry, I cannot identify the aircraft in photo #2. I like the photos of the Ospreys (the Italian aircraft, the ones that go Whop, Whop (it's ok I'm married to a little Italian Girl).

Did you know that the name of the fastener holding the Propeller/Rotors to the driveshaft is called 'Jesus Nut', because if it comes off, 'Jesus!!!' is the first word out of the pilots mouth or Jesus is the next person he will be meeting.

Yes, the good ol Jesus nut!

During my second Nam sabbatical I had Air America frequent flyer miles. I later got to know a pilot that had flown for both Air American and Continental Air Service, CAS. Ironically in the intel community CAS refereed to "controlled american source" an agent working for our side.

Mike, back in 1967 I was between Vietnam sabbaticals. I was living in Alexandria and attending a contract Vietnamese language school two blocks from the soon to be infamous Washington Hilton hotel. My daily commute took me by those sites twice a day. Brings back memories, minus the traffic.
Good shots.

I was bomb nav in D models, always like to see BUFF pictures.


I was on the ground in Nam, saw the B-52 Arc light effects.
Ammunition stores and deeply dug
enemy trenches and tunnels we re
primary B-52 targets in support of
Operation Cedar Falls, conducted du ring 8-26 January 1967. Cedar Fal ls
involved a concentrated ground assault upon an enemy stronghold covering 25 square miles of the Iron Triangle, 20 miles northwest of Saigon.
Fifteen B-52 strikes hit a tunnel system
that, at places, was 12 to 20 feet beneath the earth's surface. Many of the
tunnels were destroyed and there
were numerous secondary explosions
of enemy ammunition stores. Cedar
Falls resulted in 720 enemy killed, the
majority of them by Seventh Air Force
and B-52 air strikes. In this operation,
the heavy bombers demonstrated that
the enemy could no longer regard any
fortified area as a sanctuary safe from
attack.

I'm right handed, left eye dominant. Very noticeable when you see a tight shot of me pistol shooting.
