I have not yet joined your Combat Camera Group. Just now stumbled upon your site. I was at Det 8, 1365th Photo Squadron at Tuy Hoa from October 1967 to October 1968. Was anyone else in this group
also there at that time? Would love to connect. Just knowing there is a way to connect with all of you is pretty cool. Hopefully I can come to your reunion in September.
Where is aerial photography from the Vietnam War years archived and how can it be accessed?

My name is Rick Fulton, and from 1 Oct 1967 until 1 September 1969 I was part of 7th Air Force DXI-C that was home based at Tan Son Nhut. In those couple years, workingh as a writer, I had frequent association with some really fine still and mopix gents from the 600. I have been working on a book about Vietnam, and have some articles you all might find interesting. Am willing to share if interested. Khe Sanh, Hue, Trang Sup Thien Hnong, Bien Hoa. Was on non crew member status and flew a kot with C Flight when it was 71st SOS (Shadows) and also did Spooky stuff at DaNang and Bien Hoa and Pleiku. Thank you all. All the best. Rick

Hello all my name Joe price. My grandfather was there from March 70- Feb 71. He just recently passed and I was able to obtain a plaque that he had with the 600th photo squadron logo. Was just interested to see if anyone knew him. His name was Ron Gardner he retired as a master sergeant.
I didn’t know him. I suggest visiting the 600th group on Facebook and asking your question. https://www.facebook.com/groups/370810208795
From Jan 67 – Mar 69 I was at Orlando AFB ( orlando navel training center ) . Then to Andrews AFB for about months, then to Korat AB , Thailand .

I was in the motion picture lab Det3 Ubon from Dec 68-69. Nice photos!
My Dad was Det 3 at Udon in 1968. So moved to see where he was. Thank you for sharing.
Many have Come and Gone! Any one Remember Scotty Lions
Jim,
Thx for posting the pics, anything from the 73-74 time frame at Ubon AB when we where the 601st Photo Sq?
What about the 600th PS HQ on Tan Son Nhut, AB – 1967-1969? I submitted a number of b&w aerials of the unit as well as of many of the air bases? If you’re going to have a gallery of archival images of the 600th PS you need to include those who were there at the beginning.
Respectfully,
Dennis S. Johnson, 600th PS – Project Officer – 1968-1969 –
Where did you submit them Dennis? I don’t recall ever getting them if you sent them to webmaster@usafcombatcamera.org please send them again.
I also have a ground level photo of the Udorn Det. building.
Bottom photo is also Korat from a slightly different angle.
Thanks Steve!
Second from the bottom is 601st Photo Flight, Det.17, Korat RTAFB, Thailand. My station 71 – 72. I have an aerial of it in 1972. Can’t attach here. My guess is that this photo is pre-1971. In 1972 the office trailer was destroyed in a wind storm. I walked that flightline and hangers many times.
Thanks Steve!
