Will you build a second part of the US embassy with the row of people going up the stairs to the helicopter pad with a Huey embarking personal and civilians?

Maybe I’ll build it, but the picture with the stairs to the helicopter was not on the embassy.

Yup, the Air America Huey was on top of an apartment building at 22 Gia Long Street, a half mile from the U.S. Embassy.
The last flight off the US Embassy was a USMC CH-46.

That’s quite an introduction! Great scene, great figures - let me add myself to the list of members who actually had great things to say. Looking forward to much more!

I seem to remember hearing there was a viet cong agitator with a bull horn outside the gate telling everyone that the Americans were deserting and leaving without them.
Also the embassy safes were emptied and the money was getting burned in a big pile, people ending their kids who were running around grabbing the burning notes as the floated down from the fire. The safes were closed and locked to “fool the gooks”.
One interesting thing to note was the shredded documents which were dumped into trash bags. the vietnamese over time put them back together which is why after shredding mine I thrn burn them.
