Saigon En Route Center, 1966

I went to Vietnam, courtesy of the Army, arriving in Dec 1966.  I flew on a C-141 from Travis AFB near San Francisco to Ton Shan Nut AFB, near Saigon.  We stopped at Wake Island.  I went inside and talked with the on-duty communicators and enjoyed a short visit with them.  When I got to Saigon, I came across an FAA ATC on Ton Shan Nut, as I recall.  I went inside and talked to the good folks there.  As I recall, they were handling all the civilian traffic in the Saigon area.
