Salute!
Yeah, Jack, those "filters" would seem to ice up themselves, and as Lonewolf pointed out, just the mountains present conditions that are a problem. I don't think they were very high but escorting a wounded Jolly outta N Vee he had trouble with a ridge ahead as he was on one good engine, and reduced power on the other having extinguished the fire. Most folks don't realize that much of VietNam is not miles and miles of flooded rice paddies, but beautiful mountains, valleys and rivers that resemble those in Arkansas, north Georgia, etc.
It's just that I would have thot they would have some of the stuff that our Pave Low birds had 30 years ago. And I don't mind the steam gauges too much.
RIP.
