I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

OK465, USAF did a trial, '60s I guess, to see the potential for incapacitating of very high speed pass over troops in the open with the Thud.

Apparently a low pass at 6 feet would do the buzz. I think at 6 feet there could have been lots of thuds if the troops hadn't ducked. Not so effective against Viet G ing.
