Super-8 video submitted by Dolphin and Shark pilot Mike Banek (67-68)
"Welcome to the 174th AHC"

=====================

Below are 14 Super-8 video clips of the Dolphins and Sharks, as well as a number of shots of our people around Duc Pho, Chu Lai, Khe Sahn, and Quang Tri. These short 3 to 5 minute video clips have been edited from videos from 1967-68 and from 1970-71. Most of them are from videos your webmaster got from Mike Banek and Fred Thompson several years ago. The quality is not that great, but it should bring back some memories. This is the way it was!
