Audio only of radio traffic, probably centered on control tower of U.S. operated airfield at Da Nang, during the Vietnam War

Sounds associated with air traffic control during Vietnam War. Fragments of conversation include "full left rudder";"Say again, you're garbled";"engaging, and disengaging";"Apache 254";"Gunfighter 5354 taxi to"and "Altimeter 30.02." The sound continues with similar conversations, plus sound of breathing and of a person whistling. The sound track is clearly a blend of intracockpit conversations with control tower instructions. In particular, the reference to an aircraft with "gunfighter" number indicates it involves the U.S. Air Force 366th Fighter Wing at Da Nang Air Base, vietnam.
