So who knows the Nixon paraphrasing?

Operation Nickel Grass

“None of these were willing to accept the job for fear of being refused entry to Arab nations after the war. On 12 October, Nixon decided that no more delays could be allowed, and ordered the USAF to “send everything that can fly.” Within nine hours, C-141s and C-5s were en route to Israel.”

Ah, I thought you were talking about the Linebacker operations.

I remember the Yom Kipper alert, and the USAF getting into high gear. I was short by then, and really had no involvement. I remember the alert, though.
