Just stopping by.... I am looking for aerial pictures of Blackhawk Firebase that was located on highway 19 about 20 clicks out from Pleiku in the Central highlands, Vietnam.

My unit, 2/1 Armored Cav, was there for some time. I arrived in the unit Jan 1969. We went operational and left the firebase end of June 1969.

Lots of helos in, out, and around that FB but I can't find much in the way of pictures.

This is cool. I've always wondered if there was anything on my old unit. I am SP/4 Juan Perez. I was with the 180th ASHC in Vietnam from August 1972 to March 1973. I would like to have some pictures if possible of when I was there. Thanks for this site and God Bless.

God bless

None!

looking for article: Army study on AO and Hypertension

Hi , I was at Kham Duc in May of 1968 .(196th Light Infantry Brigade )I was impressed with the accuracy of your descriptions of what transpired.Thank You

As an engineer I spent a lot of time at Blackhawk while repairing "19" and some at LZ Action when we laid down a concrete pad at the entrance.

Mang Yang was a very familiar and scary place to be. Always seemed so chilly even on the hottest days...guess a lot of ghosts there. Even got a chopper trip in the door gunner seat from An Khe to Plieku once.

A lot of the rest of my time was on "14" in the north too. Glad to be back but I'd kinda like to see what it looks like now.
