A US Army CH-54 Skycrane prepares to lift a CH-46 from Hill 37, southwest of DaNang. This Sikorsky built, heavy lift helicopter is capable of lifting approximately 25,000 pounds. The CH-46 had landed in the LZ with mechanical problems. (Summer of 1968)

Bravo
Company, 3rd Platoon tank "Mojo Man". I'm not sure

Either a
"roadsweep" or a "patrol" heading toward
Hill-65 or Hill-52. Part of "Charlie Ridge" in the

foreground.

Looks like an

Arizona Territory because the mountains in the background look
like Charlie Ridge.
