Re: Takhli thailand
I remember getting on the "town bus" and hanging on for dear life--boy oh boy was that bus overloaded! Were any of you there when 2 star Whip Wilson was the 13th AF CC? I remeber him coming to the Supply building in his flight suit--he had on moccasin slippers. He was very short and the base commander was about 6'6"--what a disparity. This was before the 355th took over as the hjost wing. My buddy was a cop and he was on the gate when Whip went out regarding a complaint by a Major because he to sign back in after being in town all night. My buddy said Whip took the book, tore it in half and told the Base Commander and the SP CC that we have men fighting over here not children that need to subjected to childish treatment. Takhli was a VERY interesting place. Keep the stories coming--alwas fun to look back at the good ole days! In July I'll have been back 46 years--hard to imagine! Bob
