Twenty Months In and Out-Country – Col. Scott Powell in Southeast Asia, 1971-1972
Initially still a Lt. at Korat, Scott Powell’s veteran status earned him rights to have a jet with his name on the canopy rail. This picture of him on the ladder of the 34th TFS jet with his name was an uncommon experience, as aircrew flew whatever jet was maintenance ready and assigned to them on a given mission. Sometimes it was the jet with their name on it. The picture was taken during a quick turn at an air base in South Vietnam in 1972, given the presence of a “Wonderarch” aircraft shelter to the left beyond the yellow fuel truck and the mountains in the distance, not features of the area at his homebase at Korat RTAFB, Thailand.
