As a FAC in Binh Dinh province (just north of Phu Cat) I worked many F-100 flights on targets - sometimes on targets that were breathing nuoc mam vapors in our troops' faces.

I can state without fear of contradiction that when our guys were in that kind of contact, they didn't much care if you knelt on your bomb-load checklist, read it aloud or used it in the two-holer.

They just wanted stuff that went BANG, and they wanted lots of it delivered sooner than now.

On behalf of those guys, thanks to you Billy and muledeer!
