The Prairie Fire Travel Agency
CCC, Kontum, South Vietnam
The PF Travel Agency is down thataway and to the left inside The R.O.N. club. You'll know you're in the right place by the P.F. Travel Agency brass wall plaque, black walls, the full bar and all of RT Iowa's shit in the other half of the room. Ask for Phil Rice or Ray Harris or see whomever is tending bar, doesn't matter who. You have to be recon to book a trip but in The R.O.N. you'll find guides, transportation, and get travel tips for the ride of your life. If you have your own case of hydraulic fluid it'll be appreciated as you Fly the Friendly Skies of Laos. The H-34 is a solid air frame. It'll get you home but it leaks like crazy.
In 1969 SOG men Phil Rice and Ray Harris of RT Iowa turned one-half of their hooch at FOB 2, CCC, Kontum into The Remain Overnight Club* (The R.O.N.). They installed a full bar, painted the walls black, and lived in the other half. If you ran recon all were welcome. On the wall hung a wooden sign with the club's name that Harris carved with a hammer and a SOG knife. Installed below The R.O.N. sign was a smaller brass plaque engraved and painted filled in red that read "P.F. Travel Agency". Prairie Fire was the codename for Laos in their secret war.
The unofficial tagline of the P.F. Travel agency, "Fly the Friendly Skies of Laos", is co-opted from the 1960s United Airlines slogan in a twist of dark humor that was characteristic of the Vietnam War. Versions of the repurposed slogan most famously replaced United's Boeing 737 with an F-4 Phantom and B-52 but to the best of our knowledge never with SOG's trademark H-34 helicopter.
$20.00 of each sale (aka the profits) will be donated to the Special Operations Association, a non-profit founded in 1976 by the veterans of MAC V SOG. The t-shirts were customized and printed by Marine Recon veteran owned and operated Lucky Dragon Industries.
Our thanks for the work of Jason Hardy of thedogtag.com. Without his series of books "MAC V SOG: Team History of a Clandestine Army" priceless personal details about the SOG men, their stories, and lives in SOG would likely be lost to passage of time.
*In late 1970 renamed "Fat Albert's Bar" in honor of Peter "Fat Albert" J. Wilson who was listed missing in action on October 7th, 1970.
