In the 70-71 timeframe there was a unit of B-57G's flying out of
Ubon, supposedly doing interdiction on the HCM trail.
Umpteenth-hand knowledge at the time said they were not well
suited for that job.

Wasn't so much as unsuited as they were very high maintenance on the systems.
Also they were darned near limited to level bombing due to the systems in use.
By the time the G's were given to the Kansas ANG (190th Bomb"ardment" Group,
Forbes Field, Topeka) the a/c were almost held together with spit and bailing
wire.
The G was an ugly POS anyway and the fun flying was taken away by the system
sensitivity.
