Great theme Chuck. The aircraft is a freeware of the C-123 package for FSX. Cheers Mike

This is a Fairchild C-123 Provider enroute with cargo for resupplying  entrenched Khe Sanh, 1968.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

The Battle of Lang Vei


was a battle of the Vietnam War fought on the night of 6 February 1968, between elements of the Vietnam People's Army and the United States-led Detachment A-101, 5th Special Forces Group.

The Lang Vei Special Forces Camp located approximately 7 km (4.5 mi) west of the Khe Sanh Combat Base in Quang Tri Province, in the northwestern corner of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN or South Vietnam), near its

borders with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV or North Vietnam) and the Kingdom of Laos. The camp was constructed in 1967 for operations of the Civilian Irregular Defense Groups (CIDG) along the Laotian

frontier. It was positioned some 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) west of Khe Sanh village on Route Coloniale 9.

I'll give it a shot...

The nemesis of the F4 Pahantom II, the Mig 21 Fishbed. I call this shot,
 
Hell over Hanoi,

April 16, 1972

"Me and Fredo were RTB late after a botched escort for some "rolling thunder" mission that never got off the ground  Angry, when at our twelve 'o'clock low we saw a trio of blue bandits Wink. Those Migs were really moving abeam to us. Fredo broke port and I dove from behind a cloud and surprised them head-on...the first missile hit the low bandit at his three o'clock and I was thinking, 'why did they ever take the guns outa these birds? Cheesy' The dogfight has just begun and we're burnin' fuel at 150 pounds a minute..."
