Signs Of American Military Might Of '60s Disappear At Danang
Danang air base once built for a massive bombing campaign is now a key PRG transport center. The base and city were abandoned by South Vietnamese forces last month and occupied by Communist-led troops. An Ilyushin-18 from Hanoi arrived with passengers in about 1 hour 20 minutes. The control tower and hangars remain intact with American-made equipment and vehicles present. The scene contrasts with Gia Lam Airport across the Red River and highlights Danang’s shift from a U.S. military hub to a civilian and PRG administration post.
