puyaidon Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 GI's departed Thailand sometime after 1975. I came over here in April 1975 to visit my daughter and flew in a military airplane to get here. I flew into Korat that trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb2001 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Yup Remember the baht with the white watermarked circles. Udorn RTAFB 74 to 75, 432nd AMS, ECM shop. 135 F-4s in one place, what a site. Married then and still to the same. Here at the same time at Korat. F-111 bomb loader and AC-130 gunshop. Dollar sure went a long way back then. Even at 20 baht to the dollar, things were still pretty cheap. Edited March 24, 2013 by jcb2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
