![]() Ron wrote: 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. Ron Tanker 65, C-54E (DC-4) Well the person who told me is adamant the CIA used the F-111 in the role. What other kind of aircraft could of been used if he is mistaken?? A-7D is the other i think... regardless he says to me F-111 were used .. strike or recon who knows..? CIA ran the program.... so its a mystery... much like they are run anyway... dark, quiet and out of the way. |
