I crewed the Cessna O-2B at Nha Trang from May 1967 to Jun 1968. My pilot was an instructor pilot in civilian life and he taught me how to fly. Great fun!

Just purchased O-2A 67-21310, served with 20th TASS from July to November of 67, then to 19th TASS from November of 67 to June 71. Looking for any in-country photos of this plane to establish provenance. Thanks in advance!
