On my first tour I was a forward artillery observer
working with the Viet Airborne Brigade when one of the
VNAV A1s made a pass by us in the bush.  He then came
back and rolled in on us.  Those puppies were armed
with 20mm HE rounds, and I have always been grateful
(as have my children) that my radio operator new his
SOI and was able to id us to him and wave him off.
You think the A1 was impressive from the cockpit?  You
should see it from the business end!!
