FS2002 Scenery--Dak Seang. A model of Dak Seang Airfield / Special Forces Camp. This primitive outpost was located high in the mountains near the Cambodian border, about 15 km north of Ben Het. It was widely regarded as the most remote and vulnerable Special Forces camp in South Vietnam. It was frequently attacked by the NVA and Viet Cong. The name Dak Seang means "river of blood." The 1400 foot clay runway at Dak Seang was suitable only for helicopters, C-7 Caribous and other short-field capable aircraft. In November 1970, Dak Seang was turned over to the ARVN Rangers.
