Forum Support Old55 Posted December 28, 2020 Forum Support Posted December 28, 2020 Fun film made by an Air Force officers family September 1965. Clark base, Subic port and other locations. If you look closely you can see Don's house? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyWay Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Nice! I think that is the best quality video I have seen from that time, but no sound. I tried to identify some landmarks, but not sure. The beach towards the end might be where Camayan is now. The dark skinned curly headed munchkins are the Aeta Indian kids. I was trying to guess where what World Airways flight came from. If from the U.S., probably via Honolulu then Guam, possibly with a few other island stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Fascinating footage. Thanks for posting. 10 years before that, my mother, brother, sister, and I were landing in Singapore, to be met by my Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer dad...so I can relate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I shipped to SE Asia in 73 the Army MAC flights were Air America and flew from Travis, Fairbanks, Tokyo,Okinawa, Taipei and Da Nang. Could have been one more stop I can't remember the flight took forever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember after World Airways took over the contract MAC flights there were some direct flights into Cubi Pt. from Honolulu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
