The 8th Aerial Port Squadron, was a squadron of the 834th Air Division, USAF, with headquarters at 377th Combat Support Group's Tan Son Nhut Airbase. 8th APS was responsible for tactical airlift aerial port support throughout southern South Vietnam. 8th APS supplied the teams that loaded and unloaded the planes that carried personnel and cargo into, out of and throughout the countryside of the southern areas of Vietnam. It's headquarters was at the Tan Son Nhut airfield in Saigon, former capital of South Vietnam. Although now officially known as "Ho Chi Minh City", it is - and will likely be forever - recognized as "Saigon".    Ron Kosh, Clyde Howard, John Johnston, Don Carlyle, Jack
Webb, and Les Hall; Front; Howard Harris, Danny Pike, and Bob McCollough. This was
early about June of ’66 and NKP wasn’t yet ”built out” and space was at a
premium and the team was “evicted” from our hootch. This was the first
‘permanent party” team at NKP. (except for Lt McCollough who was TDY from
England AFB, LA). Danny was
NCOIC and scrounged a huge tent and a few of went looking for any odd
lumber/carpentry tools we could ”acquire.” I engineered and we built an
elevated /cantilevered floor for it that was about 18” off the
ground. The pix
was taken shortly after completion. Was the last tent on the base and we
finally had to tear it down when some General came to
visit.............. Ron Kosh
  Howard M. Harris, Dave Reikofski, Les Hall, Danny Pike, Ron Kosh, Don Carlyle, Frank Anthony, Johnny Johnston, Clyde Howard, Bob Bartlett, and Roger Huffman. The poster was on the bulletin board outside the hooch.
