Description

View of Cung Son taken during USAF 002 Mission. The Mission was flown by Caribou aircraft of 35 Squadron RAAF, known as Wallaby Airlines because of their 'wallaby' call sign. It was a daily military logistic support flight tasked by the 8th USAF and could be a specific task detailed by that headquarters or the mission aircraft could be assigned to a nominated Air Movements unit for that day. The mission flight to Cung Son was a more unusual destination; it was not on the regular route for the mission.
