This is a forwarded email I received today from a friend...At least anecdotally confirmed as accurate:

Said to have been recently declassified:

I was told this little story by a Air America troop when I first arrived at Ton Sun Nhut in Jan 68. The written version is not nearly as good. but does fit with the story I got verbally. == ' AIR.

This is too good a story not to pass on to all VN era GIs. And of course, others with memories of that time frame.

Subject: Fwd: Fwd: CALL SIGN FOR LAOS ] SITE 85 . . RECENTLY DE-CLASSIFIED ' AIR.
