Well, this has made me go looking through old photos to see if I took any while I was at U-Tapao, of the U2. Sure enough, I guess I worked the entry control point to the U2 that night, and snapped this photo in the morning before beibg relieved by day shift ABD. yeah, a glider with a jet engine, I remember loving watch her go up, for two reason. One, it was awesome, two it meant it was almost time to get off work! I've attached the only pic I took of the U2 while at U-Tapao. What a great place that was to spend a year. Worked the midnight shift the whole time, the southern boundary of the base was the gulf of Thailand, the base radio station played requests all night for us, and the tropical breeze off the gulf was great. Let me see, Thai sticks went for ...hmmmmmm I believe it was 20 sticks for $5.00 Those were the days!
