List available[edit]

Try http://www.chancefac.net/A-cs_pgs_rebuild/Lima_Sites/LS_Pg1.htm for a list of sites. It fails the reliability test for WP, but may be all you will find.

An explanatory note from a participant in the Secret War in Laos tht may be useful: unpaved Lima sites were abbreviated with the prefix "LS"; paved runways such as Luang Prabang were prefixed with a simple "L". Just don't use this info in an article unless you find a source to verify it; it will be the much dreaded ORIGINAL RESEARCH.

Needing verification[edit]

Also, it seems that Military Region 4 had its own airstrip numbering program. Because Pakse was the MR 4 headquarters, strips in MR 4 were dubbed "Pakse Sites" or "PS whatever". While I have seen this system mentioned, I am still working on a reliable source before I mention them.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:03, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
