Thanks for the pictures these are the kind I love to see!
Haz,
This way of bombing was called Iron Hand bombings with just the use of a flight or more of F105 Thunderchiefs and dropping their bomload on que from the EB-66. The EB-66 was also there to provide jaming and eary warning of SAMs. This didn't always work out because a Destroyer (name of the B-66) couldn't handle multiple launching of SAMs. Colonel Iceal Hambelton was flying an EB-66 when his aircraft was shot down from multiple SAMs. F105 Thunderchief is my all time favorite aircraft, bar none.
Sub, I love that picture of the CH-54B having the huge bomb underneath with the fuze extension, just awsome. She was another aircraft that use to fly around my house, and she was loud.
Thanks Sub you made my day!
