AEROSPACE TOUR OF CAMP BLUE LANCER VALLEY
|
Our tour begins as we approach the Village of NulloRi from the northwest
heading toward the camp's main gate.
We arrive at the main gate to the disappointment of viewing a barren camp
with South Queen in the backdrop.
Hovering west from the main gate we observe the former BLV from the front
gate clear to the bock gate, again noting the absence of all former prominent
buildings. South Queen is prevalent at the right and The Queen at the top
fourth of the picture from the left. Radio Hill is clearly pinned. Evidently the
Queen and immediate areas are not a priority to these maps.
Rounding the camp heading south on the western air space from Radio Hill,
we get a view of the HHC area in the foreground, and camp, and the village
beyond the main gate. The yellow in the distance is the demilitarized zone.
Flying southward we view the entire compound from atop South Queen.
Rounding South Queen we hover at the southeast corner just between
both Queens.
This view of the BLV was taken facing west directly from The Queen. Echo
Range is in the upper left hand corner with the DMZ at top of the shot. The
Imjin River is visible clear across the photo curving around spoonbill behind
the mountain at the upper left corner of the photo.
View from the northeast flying around westward toward the main gate.
Having circumvented the camp we are now entering through the main gate
on our way to the former First Brigade Headquarters sector.
Our flight continues within the compound passing the Motor Pool and the
A, B, and C Company areas as we travel toward the brigade sector.
We are hovering over the Brigade Headquarters, the HHC, and the
recreation areas with all former and existing buildings clearly pinned . . . and
here ends our tour of our once prominent and bustling U.S. Army camp, The
Blue Lancer Valley. . . :-(
