FS2002 Scenery--Soc Trang. A model of Soc Trang Airfield, a strategic combat support base in the Mekong Delta about 2km southwest of Khanh Hung. Soc Trang was originally a World War II Japanese fighter base. In 1962 it became the first USMC airfield in South Vietnam. The HMM-362 squadron flew UH-34 helicopters. After the marines relocated to DaNang AB, they were replaced by the US Army's 93rd Transportation Company and 121st Aviation Company (T-28s and A-1Es). They were known as the "Soc Trang Tigers." A real tiger named "Tuffy" was the base mascot. This scenery was designed for FS2002 but it should work in FS2004. By George Knowles.
