I think I have the basic terrain toplogy now, and the right places and distances of the prominent objects. First image is the view from the roof of General Vang Paos villa towards the ramp area. The hill to the left is the "Vertical Speed Brake".
Second image is again a view from roof of VPs villa along the runway. Note the significant slope. The tower structure is the old ATC tower, they built a new one in the ramp area.
