Arr-2.jpgThe Waldman Collection - We Arrive186 views"Headquarters" for the historic 2/9th reunion was Bldg 5678, Aultman Hall, located on top of the hill of Geronimo Road. Aultman Hall was the later "twin" of Allin Hall, Bldg. 5676. These two buildings were the new Officer BOQs going back to 1965. They are now a commercially-run hotel on Ft Sill property. My, how things have changed!Arriving for the historic reunion at Ft Sill, OK.

Dixon60.jpgWhatta Takeoff!185 viewsDuc Pho Runway, LZ Montezuma, August, 1967. Although I thought that the runway had metal planking by this time, I could be wrong. Note the dirt runway with tire tracks. Certainly not a pilot's dream. Recall taking this shot from the back door of a C-123...a noisy, scary plane, but exciting to fly in especially when they later added JATO-assist pods on the wings.
