This picture (or should I say collage) is interesting.  Let me tell you a story and then explain what you're looking at.

We were scheduled to receive a resupply aircraft in one day.  Typically, when the aircraft were a short distance away from the camp, they would call us on the radio.  We would pass along any special information or landing instructions.  On this particular day, the C-123 pilot radioed that he was approaching the camp.  I responded to the call and instructed the pilot to fly parallel to the mountain you see on the extreme left side of the picture below.   Furthermore, I told him: "Do NOT go behind the mountain; stay on the camp side of the mountain!"  The pilot acknowledged the transmission. 

It wasn't two minutes later that he began his approach to our 3600 feet runway by banking left (as you can see below).  He was supposed to land from the picture's left side -- taxing from left to right.  But instead of staying on this side of the mountain (where I could see him), the pilot went behind the mountain -- on the far side!  A minute or so later the pilot reported taking ground fire.  He continued, making the required 180 degree left turn, and descended to land.   

Once he landed, we walked with him as he did a visual inspection of the aircraft.  Sure enough... you could see a line of .50 caliber bullet holes that went diagonally right up the tail assembly!  He was lucky... had the ground fire struck a hydraulic line or another vital control, it might have brought the aircraft down!  Once he unloaded, he was ready to take-off again.

I photographed the pilot's take-off by taking three successive pictures.  Through the magic of graphic software, I was able to 'stitch' these three photos together to create a panoramic view.  The 'picture' below shows the same C-123 three times... simply because I pasted the three photos together.  Kinda weird... but it created a nice panoramic photo of the area surrounding Special Forces camp A-103 Gia Vuc. 

Here is the second 'panorama'...
