Former Tuy Hoa airbase. Currently Dong Tac airport.
Originally planned as a Strategic Air Command B-52 base. However, security concerns of basing SAC's bombers directly in South Vietnam resulted in deployment of B-52s from neighboring Thailand. Tuy Hoa airbase was given a tactical air support mission instead.
31st Tactical Fighter Wing was deployed from Homestead AFB Florida to Tuy Hoa in 1966 with its attached sqns:
- 307 TFS (1966-1970)
- 308 TFS (1966-1970) all flying F-100 SuperSabres
- 309 TFS (1966-1970)
