Here another one from the F104 have to say I'm pretty impressed what the camera can do in low light conditions lying on the ground without a tripod.
I concur Jan-Arie!
Really a fine composition!
When air support was "called in" we didn't know who would "show up". My teams were in far western S. Vietnam in I Corps. F4's came out of Thailand and the lesser, A1 Skyraider was usually the "on station" in my "AO". Depending upon the amount of "close air support" we needed usually depended upon what aircraft the FAO/FAC sent. Now if we had an "overun@Broken Arrow", any and all air support was diverted to the area of operation.
Similiarly with a "Bright Light" operation any and all aircraft in the AO was diverted to our needs.
Many times, depending upon the mission, and our immediate situation, we could have multiple types of aircraft "stacked" awaiting FAO/FAC instructions.
Thanks!
Dan
