I 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.


Dad said he flew the A-1E in cloak and dagger sorties into Laos
coordinated by the CIA, Air America, SEALS, Green Beanies etc.
Those sorties weren't logged and he has significantly more combat
hours than what's shown in his USAF pilot records.
