1974 Live radio broadcast taped at Korat Air Base, Korat Thailand - Side B with slide show!

*Re-upload* The last one got blocked for copyright due to some songs. I decided to reload with with just commercials but also with a slide show!

I found this cassette tape in an old case of my dads. He recorded this at Korat on Friday March 1st 1974. Sorry for the sound quality but it is a 50 year old tape being played on my old tape deck from 1989! I wish there was some content of him and his buddies talking, but this is great.

The official American military presence in Thailand started in April 1961 when an advance party of the USAF 6010th Tactical (TAC) Group arrived at Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base at the request of the Thai government to establish an aircraft warning system at Don Muang. The USAF presence grew rapidly with the expansion of the Laotian Civil War and the Vietnam War. The USAF would eventually use 8 airbases in Thailand: Don Muang, Korat, Nakhon Phanom, Nam Phong, Takhli, Ubon, Udorn and U-Tapao.
