I was in I Corps 1969-70, and although I never saw, smelled or heard them, I still remember seeing the flashes and feeling the detonations. Awesome stuff.

The XO of my first ship had been with the Riverine forces in Vietnam as an Ensign.

His description of an Arclight Strike by B-52s was positively terrifying. He said he was in fear for his life from over five miles away. He said that the thing than scared him the most was the water seemed to 'bounce'.

Worked in Boeing Plant 2 in 1966. Lots of them in the giant hangars getting revisions. Awesome birds.
