<p>My last deployment was up at the north end of the Gulf of Tonkin sweeping mines out of the Red River leading to Hanoi as part of Kissinger's peace negotiations. Every day, a North Vietnamese surveillance aircraft flew over. We were initially barred from photographing the Vietnamese ships and aircraft, but when that ban was lifted, I readied my 500mm f8 and traded photo shots with the photographer in the open door. This single engine biplane is a Russian AN-2 Colt. One of these has been acquired by the March Field Air Museum in Riverside - I remembered it on sight.</p><div>00d9GP-555203084.jpg.34b5e69f04e8ba0d1135055f97450311.jpg</div>

<p>Here's one of my older, recently rediscovered Nikon photos. I found it among a batch of negatives I never printed. Looks like an early 2000s downtown Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival shindig, with a crowd looking at a couple of those "living sculpture" mimes.<br>
