They were the Tiger FACs, the forward air controllers who flew
fast-moving F-4E Phantoms over the deadly skies of Laos and North
Vietnam in an air war that history forgot to mention. These are
their stories, in their own words, of missions in AAA-filled skies
with supersonic angels as their wingmen. They challenged the enemy
down in the weeds, eyeball-to-eyeball; cutting the supply lines
that plunged through the mountains and karst formations of Laos on
their way to South Vietnam. The mission required flying sorties up
to six hours long with four to six air-to-air refuelings. It
demanded extraordinary teamwork and bravery, and this small group
of men paid the price, suffering up to eighty percent of the combat
damage of a seventy-two aircraft wing. Their stories are often
irreverent and far from today's political correctness, yet they are
filled with the reality of war. "The Tiger FACs" will take you back
to experience the days and nights of these fighter crews at Korat
Air Base in Thailand. It is a recantation of the life and times of
the men who chose to fly and fight, and while you won't experience
battle damage, you will feel what they lived, and know, without
doubt, that you are on their wing.
