Nosewheel Maintenance on an O-2 at Ubon
Early in the war, Forward Air Controllers flew missions in rather flimsy little Cessna O-1 Bird Dogs and O-2 Super Skymasters. Our maintenance troops pushed the birds all over the ramps and did a few other things not normally associated with combat aircraft. In this case, you can see one man sitting on a tail boom to raise the nosewheel from the steel matting of the parking ramp at Ubon RTAFB, Thailand. (Photo by Craig Elliot)
