USAF campaign Date : 19th April 1967 Time : 12 : 00 Player Aircraft : F-4E Phantom II Airfield : Da Nang Airbase Mission overview " SAM s have been hindering our B-52's efforts. Lets find these missiles and put an end to them. " Background " April 19, 1967. Over North Vietnam, Maj. Leo K. Thorsness (along with his electronic warfare officer, Capt. Harold E. Johnson) destroys two enemy SAM sites, then shoots down a MiG-17 before escorting search-and-rescue helicopters to a downed aircrew. Although his aircraft was very low on fuel, Major Thorsness attacks four MiG-17s in an effort to draw the enemy aircraft away from area. He then lands at a forward air base. Awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions this day, Major Thorsness would not receive his medal until 1973, as on April 30, 1967, he is shot down and spends the next six years as a POW. " MiGMan - At the first waypoint 4 SAMs were launched and I have to say they were surprisingly effective - looking. After they burnt out it was warp-on to the SAM site at waypoint 2 then reapeatedly strafing the site until enough SAMs were destroyed to allow me to warp-on home. |
