Pleiku's 71st Evac was still a functioning hospital in 1971, but it had become a small-scale operation by the time I and my mates arrived. All in all, we Signal folks thought the medical operation a mysterious and wonderful thing; we shared the complex but had little interaction with the professional staff, and less with the patients. Here's one of those patients out catching some rays as he recovers from his injuries. I remember this as a unique event; it was pretty rare for us to see the evacuees except as they arrived or left the complex.
We did see, and admire, the Medevac crews. This chopper's crew is on-board and the chopper's ready to leave on another rescue.
The scenery beyond the helicopter pad is the Pleiku Airbase.
