Howdy Haroland;
First, Long Thanh North is nowhere near the Delta. It is located about 30 Km. east by northeast of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) in Bien Hoa Province (now called Dong Nai Province) and was near Camp Bearcat. Therefore, I doubt if the "mud wrestlers" of the Delta will be able to help much on this one, but let's see.
The only website (other than histories) dedicated to the 210th Combat Aviation Battalion that I can find is at http://www.military.com/HomePage/UnitCreatedPage/0,11003,105012,00.html . There is a list there of 33 former members of the 210th CAB with e-mail addresses, but I did not see MAJ Hardy's or your names listed there. Maybe one of these guys knows something. The military.com website does have a DoD record of a "MAJ Joel L. Hardy", but no useful information was obtainable other than his MOS which is given as 01980. I haven't the slightest idea of what that is and it is definitely not a common MOS because there is no letter in the middle.
Next, you can try to use a nation-wide white pages and/or e-mail search. I used Yahoo People Search and came up with 38 matches for "Joel Hardy" for phone numbers and 14 for e-mail addresses. If you go down the list one-by-one, you may or may not find the guy you're looking for. However, if you don't spend a few bucks making some long-distance phone calls, you'll never know for sure.
Good luck on your search. I hope that you can find your buddy soon.
