| Paul Baker Fort Gratiot, MI | Worked on A-37's at Bien Hoa in 1970-71 in the Air Force. The alert pad always had 4 A-37's and 4 F-4's fully loaded and ready for action. Whenever a pair took off had to stick another pair in the pad. Still amazes me to this day how those little buggers could take off with a full load of 500 pound bombs and a full load of fuel. 05/01/2004 @ 03:18 [ref: 7338] |
