St.OO~l/lRY FOR P~RIOD 13-30 April 1965
Since arriva.l at Da Nang AB, RVN:
Hours flown - 279.6 Sorties flown - 233 Missions flown - 10
It is readily apparent that the VC will not fire on holes or grottnd patrols When fixed wing air is ov8rhead. (reference summary for 28, 29, 39 April 1965).
It is prosont~ beleived that the F4B A/C can provide a high quality of close escort cover for Helos. Further experience should provide some valuable tactical doctrine on this subject.
During the short period this squadron has been in combat it has been praised on many occasions for target acquisition and delivery accuracy. This is b~slieved due to the teamwork of the RIO/Pilot(four eyes are better than two) (RIO calls altitude and airspeed in runs, pilot flies the pipper. ) . ·
· LOGISTICS - Ordnance and aviation jet fuGl have been problems but it seems th,,t the supply pipeline is beginning to catch up as this bottleneck has reduced some1vhat.
The AOCP rate has remainad at a constant average of 20 which is suprisingly low. A/C availability has been excellent averaging better than 13 of 15 daily.
Work on the tent c~mp has progressed well with most of the necessities of life operational at this ti1ne. ~-Tater has been a problem but our well is now producing 12-15 thousand gallons per d~.which is adequate.
