Band waiting
at Can Tho
USSF Airfield
Control Tower
Air America Landing
at Can Tho
5/60
The waiting room building was adorned with
Special Forces Vietnam insignia (unauthorized). There was
also a sign
indicated that this building was a helicopter air operations
office. The
airfield was spartan and looked fairly new. The runway and
flight line were
PSP. Opposite the control tower and waiting room, some distance
away, were
three hangers (one under construction) with "Slicks" present.
History
records only two airfields in the Can Tho area. I have checked
out the
photographs on the web for Can Tho. Both the Army airfield
at Can Tho and
the Navy airfield at Binh Theuy look totally different.
Any ideas where I took my photographs?
