The 1st time we got TAC AIR support in Nam our team was drawing heavy small arms and mortar fire in the valley near at An Khe just before Tet 68. </div><div><br></div><div>Getting artillary or tac air support in those days in Nam meant you took what you could get when you could get it....but when the FAC came up on the horn and said he had PUFF 'in the area we gladly used it and that was not very often in 67-68. Nothing ever looked or sounded as beautiful. One solid line of red tracers coming out of the sky. . .yea death from above. </div><div><br></div><div>And yea... also 'instant' fire suppression.

My New Lawn Ornament<br></font><br> <div>Now that toy looks like it could be a LOT of fun. And 'ya Brian, that would be the only way I could get ahold of one of those badboys too. Brought back memories of Nam when we could hear the "Puff the Magic Dragon" gunships ripping up the terrain a ways from our base. Just awesome firepower that we were sure glad that they were on OUR side!! Talked to several crew members that said their only job was kicking the empty shell casings out the side door(s) during a strafing run while the guns were firing. Just unbelievable the havoc those boys could unleash in a few seconds!!</div> <div> </div> <div>Rowdy</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> </div></div><div style="position:fixed"></div> </div></body></html>
