An aerial photograph looks out over the rugged, forested mountains of the Laotian panhandle, likely the Bolovens Plateau region. Captured from a supporting aircraft, the view shows the remote and difficult country MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams crossed during the September 1970 Operation Tailwind mission along the Ho Chi Minh Trail corridor.
