I was working in the Danang RAPCON and accepted control of the A/C from Center.
weather was clear, vis 30+. The DC-8 was cleared for a "visual Approach". No conflicting traffic at the time, cleared to land, runway in sight. Got concerned waiting for him to land when Marble Mountain called saying a stretch 8 landed there and he could see nothing but windows the length of the runway. Roy Constantineau 7/68 to 7/69. Remember a lot of rocket/morter attacks. Remember well the bomb dump going up.
