Two Runways

Post by wbunnell »

In my 20+ years in the Military Air force, every airfield, in it base ops, had a aerial photo graph, showing the Airfield from about 2 or3 thousand feet.
Where can I find a particular air base photo?? Namely U-Taphao Air base Thailand, with two Runways!

Try Sbuilder X. That should work.

Unfortunately, the Google Earth historic imagery only goes back to 2003, showing only one runway.

I'm not sure U-Tapao had a second runway. I'm not sure where they would put it.

During my year November 1972-to 1973, I saw a C-5 takeoff from East side of the Ammo Dump!

Maybe I was dreaming, but I distinctly remember the takeoff!!

Doing Search for U-Taphao 1973, as I was advised, I found picture taken. as a flyover of the U-Taphao ammo Dump shows what looks like, a runway to me.
