Donor Caption Description
The six Sandys that had provided The 37th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS) so much protection and firepower taxing out for departure the day we turned Danang AB over to the Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF). Other aircraft, I believe the jet A-7, was to replace them for Jolly Green escorts. These jets were too fast and could not stay with the Jollys like the A-1s so were much less effective.
