Jim's Tattoo parlor in Ancon Hill Panama City,
Panama. I received my, one and only, tattoo here
in 1984 before flying into Honduras. THAT IS NOT

tattooed me.
I was one of the first soldiers to arrive in 1983. When we arrived at
Comayagua, Honduras it could barely land a C-130. By the time we
left it was able to land a C-5 Galaxy.
