Hi everyone,
Thought I would share a few shots of my dad's Zippo from when he served in Vietnam.
He was an Air Traffic Controller all his life. His career started in the USAF, and he had a very successful career both here in the US and internationally. Internationally because of the entire PATCO situation with controllers in the early 80's. I'm certainly thankful for the international exposure it gave me as a kid! Probably the coolest thing I have from my dad, which is quite ironic, since he died from oral cancer from smoking. XX by the way, was his ATC Call Sign, that he carried throughout his career.
I also included a few period photos. I'm not sure, but these I believe are in Da Nang.
Anyway, here's some pics. There's a lot of fakes out there I've noticed regarding Vietnam lighters. This one I can tell you is genuine!
Who else has some nice Zippos from Vietnam? Share em!
