"Located at VS 599-353 in Kien Giang province, IV Corps. 1,600 foot laterite runway at 7 feet above sea level. There is no published explanation for the name of this airfield. Given that there are no roads leading to it it is unlikely that there was a cement plant here. May have been a commentary on the runway." -US Vet

Enjoy!
if this is at HaTien SF base, yes there is / was a cement plant

You would of thought that with a name like Cement Plant, they could of used a few yards of the stuff and made a Cement Runway! Thank-You! 😀

Exactly. This is from a 69th Armor vets web page. I thought it was a cool airfield name without getting to deep into the real story.
