Salute!
Many things were off limits in Hanoi.
We especially did not want to hit our buddies in prison. They even marked the hotel that Joan Baez was staying at.
We did not wish to "inflame" the Vee at that point, and all we wanted was to get our friends outta jail and then get outta the war.
On my visual mission, we rolled in from about 20K and this was my tgt:
We had 2 x 2000 pounders, two drops, two jamming pods and two AIM-9E. Only planes that did not refuel in or out.
Gums sends...
