OT Snakes servicing a T54

Post by BigSky56 »

Thought you boys would like to see some photos of spring time 1972 southeast asia wargames. danny

Hwy 13 going into an loc, couple of pt76's
T 54 on hwy 13 and some arvn's having a smoke break.
F/79 ARA Blue Max snake coming back from shooting tanks around an loc.

2 1/9 cav F troop snakes humping a T54 , AC Capt Ron Timberlake took this photo from his bird, the 1/9 didnt have heat rounds so they would hit the tank in the butt with some 17 lb he knock out the engine then when charlie crawled out hose them down, the hatch is open on this tank and one of the snakes is servicing the crew.
