Where am I?

For the person who didn't bring you "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" or "Where in the World is Matt Lauer?", but who will shamelessly rip them off, comes this little quiz:

Where am I? And for bonus points, who am I? (Oh, and when?)

Nepal.

Lower. The highest peak in these mountains is 8,500 feet.

The Reaper 02-16-2004 21:47

Central Highlands, VN.

Haven't checked elevations or anything, but looks like a photo from the Vietnam war.

Dien Bien Phu - 1954 - Giap

TR, it's not the Vietnamese Central Highlands, but it is very, very close.

Burma,

Looks like it could be the KNU, taken a few years ago.

Narrowing it down: I have to go back and check to confirm, but I'm fairly sure it is somewhere in here: http://www.nexus.net/~911gfx/mapnd4808.html

Tri-Border area of II Corps?

Pleiku/Kontum area?

Well, who is it?

Airbornelawyer 02-18-2004 10:13

Where? - Laos, on the Ho Chi Minh Trail

When? - Late 1965

Who? - SOG and Hmong trail watcher team; the Hmongs were from Vang Pao's forces

NousDefionsDoc 02-18-2004 10:22

DAMN! I had LAOS first. Had the year wrong though.

Team Sergeant 02-18-2004 10:46

OK, where am I
 
and who is the guy with the dark sunglasses? (lower right)

Air.177 02-18-2004 13:33

Is he by any chance Jordanian?

Team Sergeant 02-18-2004 14:20

No but you're in the right area

Ambush Master 02-18-2004 14:54

Israeli.

Airbornelawyer 02-18-2004 15:05

The flag is Kuwaiti and the guy on the far left appears to have a Kuwaiti Armed Forces sleeve patch, so I'll guess Fort Dix. :) Or possibly Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.

Sacamuelas 02-18-2004 15:35

I will guess the Al Jouf,SA airstrip during the beginning of Desert Storm.

This is purely from memory and I haven't run a search.

Wasn't there some Prince (Royalty), I think from Kuwait that flew
Sortie's during Gulf War 1. Isn't that him? Doesn't look
like a flight suit though.

H.R.H. Prince Khaled bin Sultan?

You're halfway there.

That's Basil S Al-Sabah. Ring a bell?
Kuwait International Airport.
Great guy, was a pleasure to work with him.

Lt. Basil al-Sabah, commander of Kuwait’s 17-man Special Forces
