That is the Savannhaket Airfield...the same one we fly into and out of for most of our OPNs in the Southern provinces.
The Air America hangers are still there as are the parking pads surrounded by blast walls.
AEK Udorn is just accross the border...there is a clinic that I use there for stabilization of patients prior to transfer up to Bangkok.
Next time I am there...I will try to get a couple of photos (of what is left) if you want.

per QRQ 30's incredible memory...(and my lack of coffee)
correction...
AEK Udorn (Udon Thani) is in the North by Vientiane...
I was referring to Ubon (Ratchathani) in the South

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
