From Udorn, just 40 minutes by air from Hanoi, supersonic, unarmed RF-101 and RF-4C reconnaissance jets streak into target areas immediately before and after a raid to click pictures. From Korat, Takhli and Ubon come the F-105 Thunderchiefs and F-4C and F-4D Phantoms that actually deliver the bombs.
