This modification provided a much-needed safety factor for the shot at flying squadron in SEA. Up to Jan. 1, 1969 Ranch Hand planes had been hit more than 3500 times by enemy ground fire.

Mountainous target areas call for exacting flying from Ranch Hand crews. Enemy-udes roads and trails must be opened up to aerial reconnaissance to halt trrop infiltrations, supplies and to reduce ambushes. The herbicide is most effective when sprayed from a 50-100 foot altitude above the foliage and contour flying in formation in mountain areas with a slow somewhat cumbersome aircraft often resembles a roller coaster ride.
