Thank you from a former AF meteorologist. I am not sure how organized of a group we had in VietNam,I was in Saigon in charge of a remote weather satellite site. But I know of one, Maj Keith Grimes whom I briefed about our satellite coverage before the Son Tay POW raid. He went with it. They didn’t get to the POWs in time but killed some enemy anyway.

These truly are the unsung heroes of war, as they’re literally responsible for whether or not an operation will happen.

Heh.

An historical version of this same story would be the weather stations set up in China to predict weather for bombing Japan in WW2.
