FS2002 Scenery--Kontum. A model of Kontum Airfield in the central highlands of Vietnam. Microsoft neglected to include this important Vietnamese city in Flight Simulator. Kontum is a strategic highway junction about 40 miles north of Pleiku. It was attacked and briefly occupied by NVA troops during the Tet Offensive of 1968. Kontum was attacked again in May 1972, but ARVN forces successfully defended it against overwhelming odds with the aid of intensive bombing by the United States. Unfortunately the city was virtually destroyed during the battle. By George Knowles.
