Talk:Dong Ba Thin Base Camp

Airfield information not correct

The airstrip was 3000’ surface was psp. I have a 1967 Airport Directory for SE Asia which list Dong Ba Thin, one Notam listed in the directory is runway psp, slippery when wet. I can scan an send it to you along with photos from that time. I was a ATC at the airfield at that time. The information you have says 2300’ this is not enough for a C130 which operated into this field.

All of Wikipedia is based on reliable sources WP:RS. The only RS that exists so far is the information from Kelley which states that the field was 2300' and asphalt. If you can find RS that says otherwise then you can make the change, however photos are generally not RS as they cannot be verified unless they come from a reliable source and personal accounts similarly are not WP:RS. I suggest that you scan the page from the 1967 Airport Directory and add it to Wikipedia Commons and then we can review it.Mztourist (talk) 03:29, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

your information, about Special Forces is probably correct, your information about the Aviation is not at all, talked with another fellow that was there after me (1971), and about that time the US Aviation interest was pulling out. The two Air Traffic outfits that ran the operation, 125th ATC, later 339th Aviation Company. If you look on You tube today one fellow has a good look at where the airfield used to be, and it is used now for drying beans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom Pesnicak (talk • contribs) 22:16, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

As I said before, all of Wikipedia is based on WP:RS, if you can't provide WP:RS it doesn't belong here. Mztourist (talk) 04:04, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
