• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

MM: Over SEA Crusader

Flying the now freeware AlphaSim Vought F-8J Crusader. Here I use the FSX-native model (v2.0) created by Henk Schuitemaker. The weather is Active Sky Next with the "extra thunderstorms" feature dropped (by checking "Prevent thunderstorms when CB detected"). [Doing this limits ASN thunderstorms to conditions when the METAR reports thunderstorms.]

Departing from Saigon Tan Son Nhat for Nha Trang (VVTS-VVNT).

Down safely. Glad there is no film of the landing. :D

...on the way to the destination of all Gunfighters...Boot Hill.

Rather, Da Nang to Haiphong Cat Bi. (VVDN-VVCI)
 
Hmm. Bad vibes at the downtown Hilton. The help there seemed less than accommodating.

Off to Dien Bien Phu. Perhaps an isolated country resort?

VVNB-VVDB
 
Heading for Udorn (VVDB-VTUD). Hear that the Air America has its Asian Headquarters there. Maybe I can sign up for quiet safe airline job when I leave the service.
 
Headed to Nakhon Phanom (VTUW) from whence operated quite an array of aircraft including T-28s and A-26s for work over Laos. Especially noteworthy for jet pilots were the "Jolly Greens" whose life-saving missions proved invaluable. (The young irreverent pilots of the day referred to the field as "Naked Fanny".)
