Video Evidence

[KCAC]

For anyone not aware of criticalpast.com, it is a site for many old short film clips.  Much of it is Military, shot by the military.  Here is an example.  U-Tapeo RTAFB  clip shot 4/27/69 from the air during a base upgrade.  You can watch the clips and buy a frame that makes a nice photo for $4 or so. Or buy the whole clip.  Anyone know what kind of herbicide gives this red look?  I have used a lot  brush killer over the decades on a small ranch/farm and have never had vegetation turn red like this, usually yellow then dead.  Whatever it was, the area around the dining hall was clearly saturated with it.

check and find pictures of Udorn RTAFB, you'll see the same reddish looking dirt on and around the base flight line and perimeter.  Really it was all over the base.
