After my Army service in Vietnam I lived and worked in SE Asia and Middle East for over 10 years as a civilian pilot (1975 to 85) and US citizens did not have to pay income taxes if they were legal residents of a foreign country or stayed outside of the USA for period of 18 months out of 24 and in my case I flew for overseas companies. The aircraft in Photo was owned by Evergreen Helicopters of Oregon and USA registered but I was employed by HeliServices of Singapore to fly EHI aircraft on both FAA and CAA license.
