KENTUCKY: Blind in Duck Hollow Eb Herald would like to see it, but he can't: the sweet William and May apple and columbine bright on the ledges, the dogwood dotting the green rise to the west, the clear bulge of Duck Creek as it purls over the smooth stones through Duck Hollow.

From Takhli fly EB-66 electronic-warfare jets with special equipment that can detect the "fingerprints" of enemy radar in the sky and then send out a signal that fouls up the screen below. Flying out of Takhli, F-105s armed with radar-guided Shrike missiles have the job of knocking out SAM sites...
