HIRANsite21
Please see the remarkable photograph at the end of this page, taken from the rear of a RC-130A flying over site #21
What about LBR : LOCAL BASE RESCUE ? This was more pin-pointing to mountain-tops !
These three photos were taken by Mr. Neil McCutchan during the period Dec65-Mar66.
Mr McCutchan was HH-43B pilot on TDY to Ethiopia from TUSLOG DET.84 (Incirlik AB).
I am greatful to him for being able to use his unique pictures.
The following two photos were taken by Mr. John Christianson who apparently visited the same mountain-top.
John, thank you very much for being able to use your unique photographs !
HIRAN Site 21 is in the distant ; this photo is taken at Arba Minch Airport (nothing more than a dirt strip - in the dry season).
Site 21 is about 35 miles away from this airstrip.
Full credit of course goes to Mr. Marty Bak (photographer) and to Mr. Jim Kinter Sr., Webmaster-1370 PMW History.
I like to thank you for being able to place this photograph here.
