Description

Photo taken 1966 at Takhli, Nakhon Sawan Province, Thailand, (15 16' 40.08 N; 100 17' 44.49" E), a wartime operating base from which routine morning and then afternoon strikes on Hanoi were launched consisting of perhaps 48 fighters supported by KC-135 tankers and RB-66C stand-off jammers. The elevation of the camera suggests that I was in the EWO seat of an Wild Weasel F-105F taxing out for an afternoon mission. Note the relative size of the fighter vs the crew-chief walking away. The pictured "D" is loaded in the typical manner with two 450 gal. fuel tanks and five one-thousand-pound low drag bombs. The load and route distance is similar to that of B-17s London to Berlin. The defenses around Hanoi were also similar to Berlin.
