Eagle: I believe you are speaking of UBON and Gorilla Joe is speaking of UDON. AA flew out of both as well as NKP and Pitsanoluk. Udon is across the river from Vientiane and closest to the northern areas of Laos. In 73 I got a gold Presidential Rolex in Vientienne for $900 U,S. We recovered a T-28 from the river near Savanahket and another from a lake north of Vientienne. I have been to both airfields. We recovered RLAF aircraft and shipped them to the states for remanufacturing since there were no more aircraft to be bought.

"HeavyHook" also worked out of NKP with AA.
