Ground Crew Reloading Ordnance on Helicopter, Marble Mountain Air Facility

Ground personnel prepare to reload ordnance onto a helicopter at Marble Mountain Air Facility, a key coastal airbase near Da Nang that supported helicopter operations for MACV-SOG missions, including Operation Tailwind in 1970. The distinctive curved steel revetments seen here were used to shelter aircraft from mortar and rocket attack. Project: 219491
