VNAF - A-37B - 520th Fighter Squadron - Binh Thuy 1970





  An VNAF A-37B of the 520th Fighter Squadron, 74th Tactical Wing, 4th Air Division at Binh Thuy during 1970. A-37s were well liked by VNAF aircrews for their agility and load carrying capability.
 
Even though I was born in Saigon and grew up in the district of Thu Duc, I spent most of my time after 1975 in Can Tho, a city in the Mekong Delta. Therefore it is nice to do a painting of a plane that used to be stationed in the nearby town of Binh Thuy, my Mom's home town.
  Well, this is the first time I publish a post right on new year day...still sitting in my bed watching the Rose Parade live on TV, a hot cup of coffee...and the temperature outside is 38°F (around 3°C)...such a wonderful feeling. Maybe this is the right way to welcome the Year of 2015 :)
  And to all of you...Happy New Year!!!
