For me it was the C-140A--Lockheed Jetstar. Flight Check outfit--1867th Facilities Checking Sq. I've flown into near all bases in Nam ( all that you could get that bird into and out of0, even did some approaches to helo pads. From the rear seat---flying crew chief on the 140A way back then. Mac

"Big John" wrote in message ... Jay One of the unsung hero's of the war in VN was the C-130. They hauled 'trash' day and night to support the Army from the big airfields to the laderite (clay) strips used by the FAC's, choppers, etc. "Klong-Hopper Airlines. The proud bird with the camouflage tail."

What is the aircraft that is most closely associated with the Viet Nam
war? MiG-17 and MiG-21. Hmmm. Good point, but probably not appropriate for a romantic suite. Actually, we may just decide to leave Viet Nam alone. As Mr. Kerry and Mr. Bush have proven, it's still a VERY divisive war. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Some of the discussion on this group when you first brought it up also proved that it might not be the best choice for a themed hotel room... I think staying away from Vietnam is a good idea! Brian.

Late to the thread... Here are my Vietnam-era favs:
Hughes OH-6 "Loach" Huey OV-10 Bronco Cessna, um, the 337 one (0-2?) BTW the Migs never even occurred to me. AFAIK they didn't play a significant role.
