| Introduction |
| Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (NKP RTAFB), Thailand was located approximately 350 miles northeast of Bangkok. The installation was operated continuously from the early 1960s to approximately 1976. From this location, personnel supported several U.S. Agencies in conducting what became known as "The Secret War". The dangerous missions, carried out in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam resulted in many aircraft and personnel being lost. The installation, known simply as NKP, or Naked Fanny is gone. Today it is the airport for the city of Nakhon, Phanom, Thailand. This website will give you a glimpse into the Secret War, and the world of Special Operations. |

Jim Burns, former Air Commando and webmaster for www.rotorheadsrus.us. said.... Wow!!,
this one great work and I can't tell you how much it has helped me understand, not only the
history leading up to the Secret War, but missions I was personally involved with in
1969-1970 moving troops into Landing Zones in Laos. It was a great read.
