ED: From my inbox – Thanks Mike
This email attachment from a school friend may be of interest to some. For those not familiar with Angeles City, it was the “support” entertainment and RNR town close to the US Clark AFB in the Philippines north of Manilla and a well-used base during the Vietnam War along with Subic Bay US Naval base and its Olongopo City not too far away. Cavite City near the Sangley Point US Naval base on Manila Harbour was another “watering hole“ and entertainment precinct in the 1960s/70s visits. I recall once missing the last ferry back from Manila to Sangley Point and having to get a taxi back which was quite something during the Marcos era with the police checkpoints and heavily armed dudes requiring some corruption funds before proceeding. Being young and bullet proof helped us through the ordeal and the belly full of booze might have contributed, no doubt.
But we survived to fly another day… and a few more thousand hours
