C-130 Pilot Vietnam Sept 1969-Dec.1970; resupplied overrun airport An Loc/Song Be. Confronted enemy at the aircraft. We survived due to reinforcements arriving. US Air Medal First Oak Leaf Cluster. After service in the Air Force I became an Airline Pilot and was hired by Transamerica Airlines where I flew the DC-8 and B747 in Worldwide Operations. Transamerica closed down and I was hired by Cargolux Airlines in Luxembourg where I flew the B-747 to every part of the world except the Antarctic. One of the great things about the flying was I experienced many different cultures. I met my beautiful wife, Selifa, on a trip in 1996. We married and have been together ever since that time. My Air Force service allowed me to have an interesting and exciting life, one that I would never had imagined.
