ezlead Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Agememnon is right! Low,Fast and lots of bombs. Set switches for ripple salvo, carry snakeye bombs and snakeye napalm. We carried 1/2 and 1/2. Mk82's and 500 lb napes. If you're using a FAC ,make 2 runs if he says it's clear. No more than 2. The Gomers were dumb not stupid Always make sure you have fighters near by. We didn't have to worry to much, if red or blue bandits were called up on guard channel, every fighter jock in town was headed our way. When I was up North in EA-6a's, The carrier CAG's wouldn't even go in until we called on station. So don't you do it either. Make sure you have ECM and flares, when SAM's are launched pop chaff and a flare .The SAM thinks it is an aircraft. Quote
