This web site contains photos of Phu Cat Air Base from August 1966 to July 1967. If you were at Phu Cat during this time period, you may recognize the landscape and some of the 37th SPs. If you recognize someone and have contact with them, please let them know.
If you were stationed at Phu Cat at any time, I hope these photos bring back good memories.
I was on A Flight, 37th SPS during my tour there.
