Hmmm... A Vietnam Veteran would know better than I would. I wasn't a winger but I was a 81mm mortarman in the First Persian Gulf War. I know we, along with the arty guys would mark a target for an aircraft with willy pete, but I'm not sure if any aircraft would mark a target for another aircraft - definately not in my war. I know the Forward Air Controllers in Vietnam flew Broncos, Bird Dogs and Loaches, but I think they just noted the exact coordinates, got the hell outta dodge and called in fast movers or called in for heavy fire support. I'm not sure if FACs would fire or drop WP. They were brave men either way. Well, I hope this gives you a little direction away. Semper Fi, Dave
BTW, I like your avatar, me too... 8-)
