Noticed your post about the Can Tho Airfield. Yes it's still there and intact. You can see some pictures of the front entrance gate, a Viet Cong memorial monument and a small park next to the airfield under "Today" on the Delta Dragon site, I believe under page one. The Vietnamese plan to open the airfield to air traffic as part of upgrading the Mecong Delta as a major tourist attraction. Right now it's a military base. The Vietnamese do not allow pictures to be taken around their military bases but I was able to take a few of the main gate. Urban sprawl has overtaken the road to the old airfield up to and past the main gate and on both sides of the road. It's built up with homes, shops and of course the small amusement park right next to the airfield.
