FS2002 Scenery--Phan Thiet, Vietnam. A model of Phan Thiet Airfield, circa 1970. Phan Thiet AF was located atop high bluffs overlooking the South China Sea. It was home to several US Army units including the 101st Airborne. Landing at Phan Thiet could be very hazardous, due to numerous obstructions in the flight path and strong downdrafts. Therefore, pilots were advised to land only on runway 07 and take off only on runway 25. By George Knowles.
