usa US Air Force

I served in Ethiopia, Africa. We supplied all the ground sites for aerial mapping. The photo shows the helicopter taken off at Tessenie and going to Sta. 4.. I do not have the date recorded. I might be mistaken because it has been over 40 years but I think this particular helicopter flew the last supply mission before the mapping mission was completed
