April 1969

Scramble on an In-Flight Emergency on a O-2 with Battle Damage. Aircraft landed without incident.

"This picture was taken in April 69 at the 23rd TASS OL-1, Ubon. I believe it was the first day bird and as you can see found a set of fairly accurate guns. The next bird went to the same area and came home with just a bit more of the left wing missing. The third bird went again to the same area and was able to put some smoke on the guns along with a flight of F4s. He came home with no holes."
