That works out to 922 planes per day flew tactical missions into Khe Sahn during the Siege (That is 38 aircraft in the vicinity of Khe Sahn an hour for a full month. Or think of it as more than a plane every 2 minutes.)
That is what is called close air support.

Who won the battle of siege at khe sahn?
The US Marines at Khe Sanh won because Khe Sanh did not fall to the NVA. At Khe Sanh, General Giap intended to repeat his success against the French Army at Dien Bien Phu fourteen years earlier, but the siege failed because the US managed to supply Khe Sanh by air and provide tactical air support for the defenders, whereas the French air link to Dien Bien Phu was tenuous at best after that siege began.
Can Starcraft 1 units beat Halo units?
In my opinion, I believe it depends who is fighting who. For example, if siege tanks were fighting hunters, the hunters would win. But if the siege tanks were fighting grunts, the siege tanks would win. Here are some other matchups in my opinion. Marines - Banshees (Halo): Marines Win Firebats - Any Flood: Firebats Win Zerglings - Tank - Tank Wins (because of splash damage). Zealots - Wraiths - Wraiths Win. You can probably guess the rest. Props for the interesting question. (:
