Map of Airstrip: Thanks Mac for information. http://www.nexus.net/~911gfx/vietnam/maps/ne48-13/ne48_13e.html // Other info from Mac: Attached photo of the runway looking towards the SW.  It sure looks to be in good shape!!  Wonder how many years it's been since anyone has actually landed there. Note, I've used the spelling from the Air America site book for the runway rather than your spelling. FYI, Al Mavro is the guy who lives up there part time, an old buddy of ours.  He said the local folks have told him that it was built by the Japanese during WW II.  Be interesting to try to run down just how many such airfields they did build in Thailand, and Laos, too.  I remember back in 1967 when I was working at Xieng Lom, LS-69A, just across the border from Nan Province, that the locals said the original airfield wa Japanese built.
