Short final at Vung Tau

C-130 short final approach into runway 36 (due north) Vung Tau Vietnam ... one of many abandoned airbases as war wound down in 70's ... notice typical steep glide-path into runway as flying low and slow final approaches in C-130 could be unhealthy WRT unpredictable small arms fire and hand held missiles. Vung Tau city was resort on South China Sea (80 miles SE of Saigon) for the wealthy and also served as R&R base for GI's although I did not see the attraction.
