Moments after his soaking, the honoree accepts a paper cup for the traditional toast while his squadron looks on. Name tapes are legible here: the airman at center is identified as MORGAN, and at the right edge an officer wears the blue USAF flight cap with a field-grade oak leaf. Two men behind the pilot are photographing the scene, a reminder that most surviving color images of Vietnam-era squadron life were made by participants with personal cameras rather than by official photographers. Green mountains rise behind the apron, placing the base on a Vietnamese coastal plain. Project: 219827
