Phú Quốc Island
In 1972, I flew to Phú Quốc Island on a mission from Can Tho, Vietnam. While flying over the island I saw the large Prisoner of War camp which held Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army personnel. This is a documentary about that mission.

Cambodia - 1972
On April 18, 1972, I was assigned to fly a mission to Phnom Penh, Cambodia from my airbase in Vietnam to support the US Embassy in Cambodia. We flew several embassy personnel to a small village near Lake Tonle Sap, went to an area near Kompong Thom and picked up three NVA prisoners and returned to Phnom Penh. On the way back, we determined that we would run out of fuel before reaching the airport. Through gallant efforts of Cambodian officials, we found a small village which had a cache of Jet fuel hidden in a bunker in the event of an emergency. We used the four barrels for our two helicopters and safely returned to Phnom Penh. At the time, US military personnel were prohibited from operating in Cambodia.

Peace On You; A-37 Tactical Air Strike
I was a young, 22-year old helicopter pilot in Vietnam flying in IV Corps when I had an opportunity to fly a sortie in an A-37 Dragonfly fighter jet. Naturally, I took them up on the offer. I only had a Super 8mm camera with me and two reels of Kodak film. Recently, I found the footage and decided to make a short story of that particular flight. I transferred the 8mm film to HD 1080p by using my Nikon D7000 and a Canon variable speed projector.
