Aerial View of Mountain Valley and Airstrip, Possibly Lima Site 20 (Long Tieng), Laos
An aerial view over rugged karst mountains in Southeast Asia reveals a small village and an unimproved airstrip nestled in the valley below. Photographs like this one, taken from the cockpit of a U.S. Air Force aircraft during the Vietnam War, document the remote 'Lima Site' airfields scattered across Laos that supported covert air operations, search-and-rescue missions, and resupply flights throughout the conflict.
