I am hoping these bits & pieces of the NVN air war are not too boring to the majority of AW members. They are just eye witness observations of NA history from guyz like Catmando, RonDeb, A4s (where U B?), Black Pony & Bart, Ol' BzB & others who were there...that occurred soooo long ago! I know that I always loved hearing real eye witness stories of WWII & Korea (& Mid-east). Much more valid than those of "war historians" who were nowhere in the area or sometimes weren't even born when the events occurred.

Quite the contrary, this post and those alike are the highlights of Airwarriors. There is not a better source of history than those that did the deed. Posts by you, Cat, Ron, etc generally catch my attention no matter the subject matter. A4s was definitely an opinionated dude but he had a
lot of good stuff to say. OCS/flight school info brought me here, but these types of sea stories from our generation's predecessors have kept me as an occasional reader. Hat's off to you and what you accomplished.
Also, flaps, the caption on that picture is fucking stellar
