Very interesting the animated graphics of the battle (and useful to fly the mission later):

And finally I got some napalm.Someone has called "BROKEN ARROW", That means everything that flies and can drop stuff will go and help them.

And I am one of them:



My wingman and I. Heading 014, about 72 miles from the base we should find the dance:





Jungle and clouds look amazing!!!:

There are some other flights in the zone, another cople of F100



Choppers



And the pilots with the biggest balls, light FACs:



big balls, small brain. They put the mark far away from the battle (05, maybe you guys should check it):



Here we are.



I recon pass by to try to spot something... nothing but smoke and explosions.

However, they are there, the good guys...





And the bad ones





I decided to ignore the FACēs mark, I can see the napalm from the other F100 flight.



The clear area in the forest has the same shape tha the real one they drop where the viets broke the american line -adventage of knowing the history :)- I will drop in the same spot, also I see sometimes tracers going from that spot TOWARDS the clear area.

Napalm!





Imposible to know if I am actually hitting something, just monkey bombing... or even friendly fire.

I make two more passes in the same spot with the bombs and the cannon until I have nothing else to throw.

Flying back home I climb above the clouds and enjoy the lanscape





The good news are that the debrief stand like a success with 8 targets destroyed.

Nice. You go down and look around. All that detail did not go to waste!

Given the unrelenting terrain, it boggles my mind that the right clearing could be found.

All you need is a heading and a distance from a given spot

Great report and pics. That one, returning home above the clouds, could be a picture. It's that good.

The clouds are beautiful in this!
