Pham Quang Khiem

Pham Quang Khiem
(Khiem Pham)

45 years this week since Kheim Pham left South Vietnam with his family for Singapore in an American C130.  That C130 is now called Siagon Lady which he leaves in the good hands of the National Warplane Museum at Geneseo, NY.


During training with USAF.


Reunited after 10 years, Selfridge AFB

Sunday brunch with The Saigon Lady.



Went through the cargo area today and cleared alot of clutter, now to get some lighting inside.  

After we left the National Warplane Museum, I had to turn around because I forgot to take pictures, luckily I did.  I got an opportunity to speak with a Vietnam Veteran, a Huey Gunslinger.  We had a good conversation about what our goals were with our C130 Saigon Lady project and if we were going to try and get a Huey for the overall Memorial that is going to be built.  I can only say I am going to try, its definately possible.
