Don’t forget your friendly, neighborhood ECM Willey the Whale, aka, F3D Skyknight. And the F-102 looks great in SEA camo.

The F-14 did not see any action in Vietnam. The only time it was involved was the last two days prior the fall of South Vietnam, the F-14 flew top cover for the evacuation of Americans from Saigon. The NVAF made no attempt to send aircraft after American or friendly aircraft evacuating the country. Records indicate the Tomcats kept “Feet wet” and never penentrated Vietnam air space.

Now there is some interesting trivia I didn’t know. Thanks!!

F-102 and F-104 aircraft both followed the same pattern as many other USAF aircraft in Viet Nam. When they were first deployed in country in 1964, they were NMF and later were given the standard SEA camo. The TF-102A was used as late as 1965 in NMF as a chase plane to observe ARC LIGHT strikes by B-52s.
The list of aircraft used in Viet Nam is almost endless if someone were to try to model all of them. The ones with hundreds of aircraft and thousands of sorties like the F-100, F-105, F-4, F-8, etc down to the ones with 2 or 3 airframes with a handfull of sorties like the U-3, U-6, C-133, C-140, etc.

The F-102 wasn’t NMF. They were painted ADC Gray (FS-16473).
