have on good source from a knowledgeable aviation enthusiast, info
that in the late stages of the Vietnam war for some operations the CIA
controlled a limited amount of USAF assets, eg F-4 Phantoms and F-111s
Adavarks for attacks in Laos and Cambodia.

These aircrafts were painted overall black for night operations and
operated by only a pilot, no wso, due to CIA mission rules.


Those Vark pilots would have a heck of a time operating the weapons panel on
the right. Better have some really long right arms.

If you just read what you typed, you can see how silly it sounds.
