2, implemented a carefully planned action combat fraud. The code-named
Although bad weather and some unforeseen circumstances, fry or MiG plans to achieve the intended purpose: to lure more and more hidden off the MiG -21 fighting with F-4C.
1966 before the second half, the MiG aircraft to the U.S. air assault force and the threat posed by surface to air missile and antiaircraft artillery fire is not as big. The irony is, F-105 aircraft with the QRC-160 (ALQ-71) electronic warfare equipment pod to make the situation changed. QRC-160 control surface to air missile and antiaircraft artillery 对 suppress the enemy fire radar is very effective. The North Vietnamese were responsive by increasing the use of MiG fighter jets, attack for the bombing was sensitive to F-105.
controlled by ground command system, the MiG aircraft, especially equipped with a hot self-guided missiles, MiG -21 newer fighter aircraft, designed for surprise attack fleet, forcing them to reach the area before throw bombs. If the
U.S. Air Force in Vietnam, the task is to win air superiority, destroy enemy units,UGG bailey button, and implementation of long-range bombing operations. North Vietnam's mission is based on the possible U.S. attack bomber, to protect their most important goal.
order to win air superiority, the U.S. fighter must have long-range strike capability and the ability to defeat the enemy in the enemy's fighter planes over the territory. This requires two kinds of bombs and missiles carrying weapons of F-4C team, every 4 to 5 minute intervals caught in the If the front or rear of the F-105 attack, F-4C to discard shells into battle. If the F-105 is not under attack, F-4C and F-105 will carry out a bombing mission.
North Vietnam Air Force equipped with a small amount of the advanced MiG -17 and -21 delta-wing MiG fighter, the former is slow, but good mobility and is equipped with heavy weapons. Although the MiG -17 in a semi-out of state, but still effectively carry out defense missions (the North Vietnamese Air Force until February 1969 was equipped with MiG -19). MiG -21 It can carry two cannon, two modeled on the U.S. AIM-9B At high altitude, the MiG -21 in a variety of flight, the flight speed can exceed the F-4C. It has amazing acceleration and circled mobility. At lower altitudes, F-4C Tactical use of the tremendous energy of the vertical offset MiG aircraft circled mobility, as the latter in the process of turning low will soon lose power. The activities of the MiG -21 tightly controlled by the ground. They are typical of combat formations from the back to track U.S. aircraft fired missiles, and out of combat. However, once the war, MiG -21's small size and large capacity make it a banked turn U.S. Air Force Vietnam War as a formidable opponent. F-4C had a fleet defense aircraft. But the fact that it has in many respects a wide range of purposes, including reconnaissance, fast forward air control, wild weasel, bombing and air superiority to win.
1966 年 12 月 2 is the U.S. Air Force's On this day, the Air Force's five 3-aircraft and naval aircraft and surface to air missile killed in a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft fire under. U.S. Air Force lost, including three F-4CC, 1 架 RF-4CC,bailey UGG boots, and an F-105. Navy lost an F-4CB and 2 manufactured by Douglas A-4C
in the fourth quarter of 1966, the ground fire agencies as a threat to the United States and MiG aircraft are becoming more frequent activity complement each other. Since the principles of war prevented the assault on the airport, 8th Tactical Fighter Wing was used to lure the MiG combat aircraft took off, and then annihilated, thereby weakening the strength of North Vietnam. MiG -21 do not want war, North Vietnamese pilots does not mean a lack of courage and technology. Theater was only 16 MiG -21, so the North Vietnamese had to be used selectively, in order to maximize their effectiveness. U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Robin Olds
said he is more of a combat test has not been the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing famous The Section 8 Tactical Fighter Wing's new commander is also a World War II ace pilot. As far as he later recalled, he carries out combat missions over Germany in Hanoi has never been over this difficult.
behave not like Oz, which often runs counter to the majority opinion. This is more or less affected his reputation as the ace pilot. Oz used to strong words against the air force training at the time, urged him to go to school in the European theater of intensive training in the art of war. Although his views have not been able to battle, Oz is still trying to implement strafing, dive bombing, and other conventional war training methods, and then the U.S. military fighter is designed to carry nuclear weapons and a nuclear war. Although the proposal did not receive his response, but it is the Vietnam war a very real demand forecast.
Oz understand, as a commander, he was the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing to the battle-hardened veterans who proved his ability. He first small to the Pacific Air Force Commander General Hunter Harris put forward the idea of an ambush MiG aircraft, but Harris has not been adopted. So Oz Youxiang commander of 7th Air Force, William W ・ Momai Ye will put forward their own ideas. It was early December 1966 at a cocktail party in the Philippines, and Oz is just sitting next to Mo Maiye general. After the ceremonial greetings, Oz said: However Momai Ye also performed no interest in, turned and left, leaving the chagrin of Oz stood there, regretting a lost opportunity. However, Mo Maiye eventually adopted the recommendations of Oz. Reception in the week after that, Oz was summoned to Saigon to discuss the matter combat trick MiG. Mo Maiye general let him develop a plan for political reasons, the plan shall involve in particular the airport attack North Vietnam.
to December 13, Oz and 8 Tactical Fighter Wing of the four experienced pilots work closely with a top, trying to formulate a plan. The plan calls for disguise F-4C F-105. Oz made his planners to develop plans for specific guidelines. The core is: Although it can not attack North Vietnam airport, have to stop the MiG aircraft landing; F-4C small team circled the airport flying MiG aircraft to flee to China, cut off the escape route. Oz hope either in the battle to annihilate the MiG attack, either by preventing their access to the airport, it will run out of fuel.
planning team included Captain John B. Stone, Lieutenant Josh Cox, Ralph F ・ Huai Teen and wing staff officer Lieutenant James D ・ Covent major. They are in a highly confidential work. Who will perform this task until December 30 the crew only received a briefing.
the project team is a perfect combination of Oz presented the overall concept plan and determining the main part of those hands-on experience in the theater full of young officers who put the energy into the development of specific programs. Project team spent a lot of time to study, such as force structure, refueling points, altitude, access routes, radio communication, to anti-aircraft fire suppression, electronic warfare, and the tasks required by other specific details.
planners believe that if war MiG aircraft, from takeoff to landing their life lasts only 55 minutes or so. In order to ensure that the F-4C has the greatest chance of lattice planes with m
war, F-4C to reach the target area at intervals of every 5 minutes a batch. The team plans on the implementation by the two-line thing to crack down.
all are fighting to lure them off the MiG aircraft wiped out as the focus. To induce them to launch operations is not easy. If you think the weather for the North Vietnamese attack will seriously affect the precision bombing of the aircraft, they often let off the MiG aircraft. In fact, there are many favorable conditions for the North Vietnamese. At the time all of the goals are the most stringent protection under the protection of the integrated air defense system. The complex terrain of the region and U.S. troops had strict principles of war severely restricted the F-105 in the As to the route near the target area is limited, the goal also allowed a limited combat.
consideration of the above negative factors, Oz asked to plan the starting point into the Formation will follow the usual spot F-105 carry out the task of the route, speed, and radio communication frequencies. Formation of the composition is not actually linked to bomb attack in the U.S. Air Force Advisory Group in Vietnam, head of Road Nafen F ・ Smith, Major General recommends F-4C F-105 has been put on carrying QRC-60 electronic warfare equipment pod.
Another factor at play, which is the key to the success of Oz hope. Into the theater of the first three teams will choose a small flying missiles. In the precious few minutes, the pilot must know exactly all the aircraft's own position. Are considered as any other enemy aircraft without visual identification, its attack. This capability has great advantages, including the North Vietnamese off guard and effectively hide that cover the North Vietnamese back fire. Most importantly, enable the missile is not under the influence of super-pressure, time to make a reservation select the adequate conditions for attack.
12 22, Oz to the generals in Saigon Mo Maiye brief report. General accepted the plan and did not make any changes. Implementation date is scheduled for January 2, 1967, the entire force, including 96 fighters, of which 56 ~ F-4CC, 24 架 F-105, 15 架 F-104. In addition, there are KC-135 tanker, EB-66 electronic warfare support aircraft, EC-121
report to the Mo Maiye after 8 days, 8 Oz canceled all leave Tactical Fighter Wing, and delayed Chuxiwanhui. Happens at this time, the weather was bad, obviously Jan. 1 is not offensive, and most people think that January 2 will not. So party on the evening of January 1, held as usual - this is undoubtedly a mistake because it quickly decided to January 2 morning implemented surprise. Although the probability of bad weather a large, Oz, or agreed to launch an attack, because the
on the flight team, goals and routes of code is usually the 7th Air Force computer arrangement. Since timing is critical, MiG bases in the United States, the name of the city as a symbol, such as Fu (northwest of Hanoi), code-named
this air war lasted for 13 minutes around the airport in Fuan within 15 miles, 10,000 to 18,000 feet altitude airspace started. Oz carefully follow the example of the F-105's flight profile, before reaching the Red River over to the flight speed of 480 per hour, and then accelerate to 540 per hour, and began to imitate the carrying QRC-160 electronic countermeasure equipment pod flight formation. This formation is similar to the standard four-plane formation flow, but the interval between the aircraft was about 1,500 feet. Maneuver the aircraft up and down the road, together with co-ordination of electronic countermeasures equipment pods, jamming enemy radar detection.
Oz team to reach the area after the remains Oz is expected at this time the North Vietnamese people have realized that their opponent was. Oz at 14:00 GMT, arrived on schedule over Fu. But he was disturbed by the fact that the MiG aircraft did not launch. The following are clouds, cloud top height of about 7,000 feet. North Vietnam's MiG aircraft, ground controllers have to take off was delayed for 15 minutes. Oz, of course not know this, he had to consider abolishing the task, led his unit to return.
Fu airport after his flight over to the southeast, and then for the 1800 turn toward the northwest Fangxiang Fei. When the formation of the Unit 3 Oz around search, initially found no signs of enemy activity, and later found a rapidly moving in the opposite direction of unknown objects, and then they lost. Daniel James had led a small fleet of Ford over the target area has been reached. Oz to cancel the missile automatically search again for the 1800 turn.
Ford formation into the theater on time,UGG boots, at the same time, the first one out of planes MiG -21 clouds. Ford calls a No. 1 machine is close to a MiG -21 Oz formation. Oz turns to get rid of this MiG aircraft, targeting, and attack in his 11 o'clock position, about 1 mile below the other MiG aircraft. Oz
This is the first time into the Hanoi area, is the first time at war with the MiG aircraft. Clifton seat after Lieutenant Charles targets will be close to ready the launch of the When he discovered silver delta MiG aircraft, launched two Oz then find another MiG aircraft. Using F-4C great Oz of thrust and energy behind in the roll, this time he fired two lattice planes success.
Waite Hahn Oz attack in the process, sneak into the back of a MiG -21 aircraft, and after the seat of Lieutenant Jerry K ・ Sharp co-firing of the two The first one failed to hit the target. Second gold hit a MiG first part of the horizontal stabilizer. The aircraft was shot down.

Two MiG formation of 3,4 to Ford Unit approximation, beyond the target, and then driving the Ford of James Unit 1 attack, but also beyond the target. Then, the MiG aircraft suddenly left U-turn, Rasp Berry roll around to the MiG aircraft, followed by the 6 o'clock position. A
Ram Tony Blair arrived in formation, they found themselves just with the MiG aircraft in the melee. Stone and the back seat of a small pilot officer Daniel Clifton P ・ Lieutenant root fly with. Over in Fuan, Stone found at 4,000 feet below, two miles by two MiG. Whether the facts in the case of targeted, Stone launched three Second gold hit the MiG's wing root, the pilot parachute. Fifth MiG aircraft were shot down.
