In the Kingdom of Laos

During the war times in Laos, there were places or areas named differently, sometimes they were difficults for our Americans friends to say or pronounce those names; and for easy to remember and also safe for the troops to move around, so the enemies could not know exactly where friendly were operating. It was also easy for pilots to remember and wrote in their memo. Therefore, our American advisors had named the following locations into lima site for aircraft and troops to remember:

Lima Site 20A was headquarters of the CIA/US Officers and Command Post of General Vang Pao for the US Secret Army during the Vietnam War.

American advisors of the US Secret Army used C-130 to transport Hmong soldiers (SGU) in and out of Long Cheng airport.

***Lima Site 85 was the site where American advisors installed sophisticate equipments to help USAF in operating its full missions over North Vietnam during the 1960s war games. The Hmong lost hundreds of its soldiers in defending the site for the United States. Many former USAF pilots who involved in that air campaign still know the happening and remembered the tragedy of the falling of the site.
