The old airfields of Vietnam might have be another projects, especially as there are some that can be visited.

Its where the current Sports Stadium now is.

I always linger by the aircraft steps / door of the bus and try to be the last one to load !! Juvenile I know but it lightens the moment
Thanks for this list – brought back happy memories of less security conscious times

Thanks, yes Da Lat would be an obvious one considering how far the current airport it. Will add it.

There is an old airport south west of town that was replaced quite a few years ago by Liên Khương Airport 45 minutes south in Đức Trọng.

Thanks for that tip. I was using a master list of old airports on Wiki, and it didn’t mention Phu Quoc, so I figured there are other airports not mentioned. Looking on Google Maps I can see a abnormally wide road. Will look for more info!

I saw Quy Nhon on a list, but it looks like it was only used for military, and I have kept this list for civilian use. I am doing some research about airports in Southeast Asia so I should do an article aboutthe airports of Vietnam

Didn’t know about Quy Nhon, though it’s pretty obvious from the overhead imagery. Did know about Phu Cat, which is still in use.
