Once inside the perimeter, you can visit the individual exhibits including a dining facility, sleeping quarters (hootch), mortar pit, gun and observation tower, ammo bunker, and two UH-1 helicopters. To the best of my recollection, these exhibits are excellent representations of the original structures. The hootch was certainly representative of the one I lived in for almost a year. Having been on an Air Force base, my hootch was probably three times longer than this one.

I was also fascinated by the gun and observation tower. I recall visiting the towers around our facility on my nights off, we often visited the sentries and viewed the perimeter through the "Starlight" scopes on the weapons.

On the two UH-1 helicopters, one was configured for Medevac and the other for assault missions. The assault chopper is armed with a 2.75 rocket launcher and a 7.62mm minigun. I have seen both of these weapons used in combat situations and I can tell you the minigun is a sight to behold, particularly when fired at night. Capable of firing 7,200 rounds per minute, it is generally governed down to 6,000 round per minute to keep the barrels from overheating. Even with a tracer round inserted every five rounds, at this firing rate the tracer rounds look like red rain. If you've ever seen it, you won't forget it.
