The Marble Mountain Airfield was used as a Marine Corps helicopter base during the war. After the war the North Vietnamese used it as a Army Base. It is now abandoned and the new road from Danang to Hoi An is right where the runway used to be. The old concrete hangers will be torn down soon. The beach is being developed as China Beach and there are quite a few resorts already going in. The beach between Danang and Hoi An is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. You can see Marble Mountain behind the hangers. Of course there was shopping for marble. We only bought a small box but I thought Mickey and Minnie were cool. Of course Amy with Happy Buddha. I was called that on more than one occasion by the Vietnamese.
