further enforces my point that a developed country coudnt beat guerrilla fighters living in the jungles..

Won what? The country is still 3rd world.

That F8 Crusader was really something & put a wildman in it LOOK OUT
-
We'll, then let's be glad that Vietnam and USA nowadays are friends again so that they can combine their best men should that be necessary.

This pilot was really a Top Gun! And he does not make the impression of beeing an 'iron eater';-)
-
They actually made a super F-8 crusader but never put in production. F-8 is always loved by navy's pilot. In many ways, it is far more better than the F-4.

LOL how the midair "cameraman" shakes when the planes fly past him!!

@iowa61 Colt Mk.12 20mm cannon was a piece of shit. I still dont know why the Navy kept it when they knew how easly it jammed.
One has to wonder if any of the NV pilots in this engagement survived the war and are still alive today. It be interesting to track them down and get their accounts, presuming someone hasn't already done that.

no duh..
vietnam only had about 50 aircrafts that were given by Russia
Vietnamese are poor and poorly equipped
Usa was rich and had thousands of planes sent to vietnam
Vietnam war was like egg against rock.
But still Vietnamese people won.
