Thanks for your service. I was on Yankee Station on the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43)(tail designation NL) from 12 November 1971 until 17 July 1972, with Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 224 (only 2nd Marine Air Wing in Vietnam). We flew A-6A's, A-6B's and KA-6D tankers with a EA-6B Prowler & lost 3 aircrews. We had one F-8 Crusader on board for reconnaissance. We had 2 F-4 fighter squadrons, VF-111 & VF-51, along with 2 Navy A-7D squadrons, VA-22 & VA-94. We are the ones who mined Hiaphong harbor in May 1972. Ohhh Rahh. Semper Fi. Cheers from an old Marine sergeant in eastern TN
Small world , I was on that cruise as well with VAQ-135 in the EKA-3b. Remember when Major Clyde Smith of VMA-224 was shot down and was on the mission when he was rescued. Be well shipmate.
Considering the fact that the top aces in Vietnam were all VPAF I think he is being a little disingenuous in saying the Migs were less of a threat than AAA.
