KHE SANH 1968 from a UH-34D

This is a great photo of Khe Sanh taken by my good friend SEABEE Sam Messer CBMU301 from the inside of a UH-34D. This is a South East view of Khe Sanh. The base was 1/2 mile wide and 1 mile long not counting the Rock quarry and 1/9s area. The strip was 3,900 feet long and 300 feet to the outside of the perimeter. SAM was one of the first into Khe Sanh and helped to build everything from the runway to the shitters.
