C-123 taking off,  jan. 1968
In "Dispatches", Michael Herr said that the worst place in the world in 1968, was Khe Sanh, and the worst place of Khe Sanh was the airstrip
Provider on the runway.
Only C-123 Provider and C-7 Caribou can land at Khe Sanh, after numbers of C-130 were hit by light and heavy weapons while taxiing.
Because of heavy fire, a new airfield approach had to be imagined.
Forever used, it was called "Khe Sanh approach".
