The "Rebel Ramp" is where Detachment 1, 834th Air Division (7th Air Force) parked their C-130 Hercules transports at Tan Son Nhut AB, RVN throughout much of the Vietnam War. The 834th AD was deactivated on 1 December 1971 and their flight line unit was then redesignated Det. 1, 374th Tactical Airlift Wing (flying out of CCK AB, Taiwan). The commercial Tan Son Nhut International Airport pax terminal, where many troops arrived/departed from Vietnam is just out of sight on the middle/left side of this photo (left of the original TSN Control Tower and POL tank farm) where the B-707 with the PanAm logo is visible on it's tail. |
