God bless the F-4 jockeys, regardless of who they were flying for. Nothing better than seeing a Phantom delivering it's payload just in front of you. God bless the jockeys, and their FACs.

I was bringing a patrol back to our company base when we were attacked from both sides of a ridge. Called for air support and was sent a Phantom, pilot approached asked for smoke on our position. He laid some napalm eggs on the side of the ridge he was approaching then flew right past our heads did a back flip (?) a barrel roll and laid eggs on the other side of the ridge. We made it to the perimeter without a casualty, could have kissed the pilot right then.
