An uncamouflaged C-130B 'turns at the end of the short runway at Bam Bleh', taking US troops out after a bloody operation, Paul Revere IV, in the Plei Trap Valley. Searching for 'Bam Bleh' or 'Kbam Bleh' yielded no other information at all. This is assumed to be Landing Zone Oasis, southwest of Pleiku, which had a 3500-ft runway. An aerial photo shows four C-130s at LZ Oasis during this operation on 10 November. Photo from: US Air Force
