10:56,
We take a look at Cam Ranh Bay's past (circa 1968) and present (2006). Here, we visit the former 14th Aerial Port, the US Air Force's passenger & freight terminal area during the «American War.» Today, it is the site of a civilian airport terminal, which replaced the one at nearby Nha Trang.

I was stationed at Cam Ranh Bay in 1971 and served with the 22nd Replacement Battalion (Army) right up the road from the airbase. We used to take a few days «off» by hitching a ride with an Air Force Rescue Squadron stationed in Cam Ranh over to Udorn, Thailand were they rest of their unit was located. They used C-130's to refuel rescue helicopters. For the first time since that date, we will be going back to Vietnam in October. Will visit this area.

Hey Hokie, I was with the 22nd also in 71. I got there the day they set up the drug control center and we took the outgoing plane tickets and took the drugggies to the 6th CC up the road. Dave

I remember arriving here in January 1968. Orders only showed the APO number and I wasn't quite sure I had arrived at my new duty station. Worked in the control tower seen in the background in some of these scenes.

VP1 YB09 Aug '68 we flew in at night from Sangley Pt..  Starting our patrol south from just south of the DMZ as night arrived so did  the artillery flashes happening the entire trip as I  looked out the starboard window of the P2 V Neptune.  It was surreal and war didn't seem like a distant thing anymore.
