I believe it was taken at NAS CUBI – the test flights of the rear mounted MINI guns… NEVER used in combat, Too heavy,

This photo of an armored HC-7 HH-3A showed up in my FaceBook feed this morning….appears to be a Army Ch-54 Skycrain over in front of the nose on the ramp, but I do not recognize this location. Is this in Japan or? mgb
