Photo Comment

Rare early pic of Phantom carrying the individual tailcode of CO. The 480th parent wing, the 366th TFW, used a system of individual tailcodes for its squadrons in the late 1960s. Although based at Da Nang, this picture was taken at Ubon in Thailand. This Phantom was shot down over Laos on 23 April 1970.
