I was on a destroyer off the coast of Nam for a couple of years. There is actually a TASMG helicopter repair facility in the background, hard to see it but it's there. Our company has done a lot of work on that facility and the Air Guard base where these were taken.

I think it helped that the Colonel in charge of the Air Guard base has a C6 and one of his security officers has a C5. Took a lot of begging by one of our members who is retired AF.
