Question:
What's the timeframe of the terrain?
Sea conflict or modern?

I need to know for a correct list of airbases.

Anyone with a good knowledge of airbases available in Vietnam on the NVAF side.
So far, here are the ones I know of for the US side:
Bien Hoa
Cam Ranh Bay
Da Nang
Hue - PHU BAI (Airstrip)
Nha Trang
Phan Rang
Phu Cat
Pleiku
Quang Ngai
TUY HOA
TAN SHON NUT (supported?)
Quang Tri (supported?)

Korat
NAKHON PHANOM
UBON
UDORN
TAKHLI (supported?)
U TAPAO (supported?)

Regarding allied bases in the south - I don't see the Marines fighter base at Chu Lai, just 55 miles southeast of Da Nang. At least the F-4 Squadron vmfa-314 black knights were there. Originally they flew out of Da Nang, but in 1965 when the Corps waded ashore at Chu Lai and put in a metal plank airstrip and a land-based catapult called a cataport, (intended to allow phantoms to be based there, but apparently it didn't work well enough)the first squadrons there flew the A-4 Skyhawk. The Skyhawks still needed JATO assisted takeoffs however.
A proper 10,000 ft. runway was completed in late 1966 (I'm guessing at that date- it could be 1967,)because the Marines were flying phantoms out of Chu Lai by 1968.

when I'll have my airbase work finished on the VietNam terrain, Chu lai will be supported.
I'ts already in my AB list.

Thanks for all the help you provide, keep it coming
