Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

W&R in Ho Chi Minh City

Post by Hans.Jacobs »

Hi,

Saigon is a nice place for all sorts of wrecks and relics from the war. Just wanted to share a few shots taken in Ho chi Minh City last week:

War Remnants Museum:

Am sure there's quite a few more to be found if you look hard enough. In the centre i saw another silver F-5, but was not able to take a photo of it.

Take care,
Hans.

The helicopter on the two last pictures, is that an early version of the Mi-24?
Kind regards

And there was also a third crewmember, the gunner, who sat in front of the other two.
