I loved every moment spent at Tainan except for the occasional hurricane that visited totally unannounced. My best friends in Taiwan were local residents that were employees of the U.S. Government, the worked for me in the Packing and Crating section of Air Force Supply.Two were from the Mainland, the other a local Taiwanese.I found out early on, customs then were entirely different than they are today insofar as dating, dating a local girl was totally frowned upon. I got over it! haha I really do have fond memories of Tainan and the Country Of Taiwan. I loved the people, their culture and their incredible work ethic. It definitely is on my bucket list of places, i would love to re-visit before my passing. <br />Jake Jacob USAF 1960-1964Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786684259189615543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-28129666576200313052013-09-01T03:53:17.302-10:002013-09-01T03:53:17.302-10:00I was born in 1954 in rural Tainan, a native Taiwa...I was born in 1954 in rural Tainan, a native Taiwanese, my dad served as a signal man at Quemoy island during 1958 Quemoy shelling, two months later, he left the Army safely. He is 80 years old right now, and I got childhood memories in my mind still ..... <br />One day, he brought me to Tainan, I had seen military aircraft took off from Tainan air base constantly. I asked him, why a smaller airplane so loud, and the big one more quiet, my dad told me nothing.<br />I finally know that the louders was F-86, and the quieters was C-119. Now I'm going to my 60s, and still appreciated what you had done for us mor than 50 years ago. monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647522723987736183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-81231824149088561832009-03-04T18:09:00.000-10:002009-03-04T18:09:00.000-10:00The C-119 in USAF marking was obviously not tranfe...The C-119 in USAF marking was obviously not tranfering to ROCAF, for it was a early model(note the tail) not G model which ROCAF used to operate.
