More Memory Joggers From Tom Helbing

\~+~+~+~+~/

Tom has also provided some great flightline shots.  As well as some color photos of the Christmas 1967 Bob Hope show and the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Reunion.  

  A great shot down the F-105 parking ramp before the installation of the revetments.

A loaded F-105 taxiing out for launch.

   

Off to today's target.  Will he be returning with this evening's recovery?  Or will we wait for years to learn his fate?

Another proof of what a small world Takhli was.  Compare this photo with Paul Bentley's on the Various Contributor's Page.  At first I thought they were the same shot, but there is a small difference in the road up Takhli Hill in the two.  

 

Bob Hope arriving by C-130 for the Christmas show, complete with signature golf club.  What a guy.

Everyone knew who this was.  Raquel Welch was every bit as beautiful in person as in the movies.  What a woman!!!  These folks came halfway around the world and missed Christmas with their families just to cheer us up since we weren't with ours.
