Yes, LS20A, Long Cheng or Long Tieng. One of the secret "non-existent" Air America airstrips.

Land on 32, takeoff 14 only - the 14 approach had a significant obstruction! :





I had never heard of Long Tieng until I recently read Flying Through Midnight: by John T. Halliday, in which this airstrip figures prominently. An excellent book, thoroughly recommended.

Some very good photos of Long Tieng, NKP and operations in Laos here:
