A flight of Philippine F-5s snapped into escort positions around Air Force One when President Johnson took off on the Manila-to-Bangkok leg of his Southeast Asian trip. Belgium and The Netherlands are about to order the planes. This month Morocco's King Hassan, anxious to retire his aging Russian-built MIG-17s, will take delivery of a dozen...
