| 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. |
