i was in vietnam about 4 years back. when in hanoi i visited the prison that john McCain was held captive in. i was told at the time there is an old aircraft from the war in the lake of hanoi (not visible). not sure if this is the one you are refering to. also not sure if this was the craft that JM was on either. i will have a search. if i find anything, i will post a link on here for you. ps, you will find an abundance of military museums when you get there. enjoy, but do watch out for the humongous rats that roam the streets at night. the locals trap them and eat them. : (

ps. lonely planet is the book i used when traveling through thailand, cambodia, laos and vietnam. its worth its weight in gold. i suggest you get yourself a copy and plan your route if traveling. you can purchase a snide copy of it over there (very cheap) but you don't want to waste your time reading when you should be exploring. pps. the kangeroo cafe does a mint breakfast and is run by an aussie couple (names escape me) they also did at the time a good trip to halong bay (nominated for one of the natural wonders of the world) well worth it if you have the time and a few spare dong. (not too expensive as i remember)

If you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City (old saigon) take time to visit the Củ Ch tunnels. It's an eye opening experience and a fantastic day out. Enjoy your trip. : )
