#1 No civilians have been struck during the raids

#4 I have the same feeling about the A-1E, USNRet. Loiter all day, carry everything but the kitchen sink, and put rockets down on the EDGE of a dime.

#5 "...carry everything but the kitchen sink,..."

Then you have undoubtedly seen the pictures of the dreaded USN Toilet Bomb from the Viet Nam days, right?
i think it was VA-176 strapped a commode to the rack of one of their Spads and took it downtown.
BTW i have a pix of a Spad w/ one of our A-6s shot during Flight of the Intruder movie shoot if'n you want it.
