    OK.  Maybe not so easy.  It’s in Asia, and it has historical significance.

    Son Tay?

  3. Jed

    Nope.  Right general vicinity, though.

    Got it now. Khe Sanh Combat Base. Now I understand why a C-130 is sitting in a non-descript field in central Vietnam.

    Funny, I always had this vision of Khe Sanh being some hilltop micro-base where C-130s would have to use LAPES to leave cargo.

    Oh, and if the Wikipedia article on The Battle of Khe Sanh had not given lat/long, I doubt I would ever have found it. Google Maps and Vietnamese place names don’t mesh well.
