Vinh Long Army airfield was established northwest of the city off of Route QL-4.
It was home to the Army 114th Air attack helicopter company and the US Navy HAL-3 Seawolves Detachment 3.
The Army aviation unit ultimately occupied the airfield for period of nine years beginning on May 10, 1963.
Their facility, the Shannon-Wright Compound, was named in honor of the 114th's first two causalities:
SP-5 Wyley Wright KIA March 9, 1964, and
Lieutenant Kenneth Arthur Shannon KIA March 15, 1964.
