Chu Lai Airbase Vietnam when it was first opened only 1500 ft needed JATO and arrested landings for the Skyhawks. They eventually added enouph interlocking STATS to a 1200 m runway. Eventualy became a thriving airbase then airport. Must have been fun flying those early months. 4 vids in all. Some of the planes come back all bent to hell.
