WS-24.JPGM-102152 viewsM-102s arrived in-country in 1968. According to the Unit History (see link), the 2/9th Arty was the first 105mm unit to get them. Howitzer is shown at the high angle fire position, a bitch for the old 105mm but a "piece of cake" for the new.

Dixon60.jpgWhatta Takeoff!152 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.
