Also learned in Japan the following: 'Tak san kuda kuda pa' usually preceded by 'Boysan'. It means you are very crazy. Not sure if I phonetically spelled it right, but you get the jist of it.

It seems like every country had it's own smells to me. I still smell things and it reminds of places from the past.

No matter the size of the weapon, you must have muzzle awareness!!

I posted this in my other thread on old military papers but thought I would drop them here as well. From a USAF training comic book dated July 1968.

This one is no fun. It doesn't have the hot chick in it.

Why is a male pheasant sitting on a nest?
Actually, I witnessed something like this happening in real life. One of my uncles was a private pilot and kept his plane at the airport in Erie, PA. My immediate family went from northeast Ohio over to Erie to visit my uncle and aunt, and all of us went to the airport to take a ride in his plane. When we got to the airport, my aunt noticed a lot of bird droppings on the propeller or the front of the plane. My uncle reached into the engine compartment and pulled out a boatload of straw or grass, plus 2 eggs. Can you imagine what could have happened up in the air if that nest ignited?

I was a single digit midget when I flew my last combat mission in RVN. I should have turned my flight gear in sooner.

On my initial four year tour in the Corps, I got out after my second tour WestPac. Got an 87 day cut, so spent 3 years 9 months and 12 days in the Corps on a four year tour.

My son wears Army jump wing on his AF pilot name tag. A 7 jump chump as they are called, but he did go through Ft. Benning to get them. Not that many AF pilots wear jump wings.  He was never in the Army but his A-10 got him real close to them, and Marines.

Our base commander Colonel Correy was prior enlisted army airborne. He would go on training jumps with the PJ’s.

An old friend of mine was a Mohawk driver until he hurt his back and could not qualify in the ejection seat trainer. I can't remember how often they had to do that. The O-1 was/is the only Army aircraft with an ejection seat. It does not look like fun.

One of my best friends in high school ROTC became a Mohawk pilot in Nam. He was shot down by ground fire at low altitude. When he ejected, the chute did not open in time. He died with a back broken in three places. It was his second tour. He left his wife and two children; one of which he never saw. Lt. Edward B. Cribb's name is on the Wall - He's buried in the old Fort Benning cemetery.

God rest Lt. Cribb's soul. That PSP he is standing on probably made up the runway he operated from. That's what we had in Tay Ninh.

We had the GRU-5 & GRU-7 ejection seats. With the GRU-5, you could eject at zero altitude at 100 MPH and survive (supposedly). With the GRU-7, you could eject at zero altitude and zero MPH and survive (supposedly). Never knew anyone who tested one.
The PSP was used all over. When I got to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan in the summer of 1970. The tarmac was being covered with that. Every squadron had a very large working party involved. Glad I missed out as it was June and hot and working laying PSP was no fun!!!

How low do you go for Close Air Support? I have been told that different services had different ideas on just how low they would go in support of the infantry.

The WartHog (A-10C) has the same targeting pod as the F-16 so they can dispense GPS or laser guided bombs from altitude, but they much prefer putting eyes on their target. " Danger/Close" anyone?

I worked on A6-A's & E's. We could load 28 MK 82 500 pound bombs or sometimes 18 82's and 12 canisters of napalm. Our crews for the most part would go in low. Have heard of branches being pulled out the bomb racks where they got tangled up. This was in daylight, at night they stayed a bit higher as trees hide in the dark.

Have heard of branches being pulled out the bomb racks where they got tangled up. This was in daylight, at night they stayed a bit higher as trees hide in the dark.

That is a lot of ordnance. Here is a pic I borrowed of a A-1 Sky Raider. Old school, even then, but they liked to get low and slow. Had a pair of them join up with our formation of 9 UH-1's one day. Now that's slow.

Yep! Have been told that an A6 loaded could cruise faster than a Phantom. The F4 does not have the lift that an A6 does (read wing area). To fly faster than an A6 when both fully loaded they had to kick in the burners (and eat fuel). Drag vs lift and a lot of stuff I never had to figure into equations.
Addendum: Just talked with a Lt.Col. (retired), that I know. He was an A6 Bombardier/Navigator (B/N) all his career. He was not sure about the cruise speed as he said "fully loaded with 28 MK 82's, the bird wallowed like a pig".

On my son's first tour in the sand box they used a lot of gravity bombs. As time went on they carried more GPS and laser guided ordnance. Early on, during an attack of an enemy compound with a walled in area, a horse was killed as collateral damage. His call sign was then and forever PITA.
ATTACK !!

Ever had your parents call you while you were overseas?

From the 75th Fighter Squadron display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ. with call signs. Some of them are pretty funny, especially when you know the back story.
AJ, on that last cartoon. Of course we had no cell phones way back in SEA war days. I remember standing in line to get a phone call to some Ham radio operator to connect with the World.
