I checked my bookshelf. There's a book called 'Khe Sanh', volume 5 in a series called 'The Illustrated History Of The Vietnam war' written by Michael Ewing. In that book he says that at Khe Sanh the north vietnamese had both heavy artillery deployed, the best from the soviet arsenal, and Migs. He says they didn't know for sure, but they strongly believed it was russians piloting the migs. But, maybe they just used em in that 1 battle. Maybe they decided there was no fruit in sending them south of khe sanh which was on border between north andsouth. maybe russians decided it was suicide mission and stopped sending migs and pilots into battle.

Either way, I don't know if it was right or wrong for us to fight that war, I'll never know. But it was one heck of a war. And our troops performed so very well.

Thanks. Must be that the pilots in the North knew that 'discretion was the better part of valor.' As far as I know, air from the North was never of any consequence in the South.
