Jets
We landed in an open area and made for a tree with an APC next to it. (Kontum) The APC had about 500 dings from small arms in it, I thought maybe this is not a good place, The whole area was being lite up with (there) mortars. This went on for what seemed to be an hour, Then small arms fire from a tree line about 2-300 meters away. My Lt called mortars and arty and the small arms fire just kept comming, Lt called BN for napalm, (jets) . About 20 min. I get a call Wiskey wiskey alpha leader 76 over. 76 was my Lt. I answer Roger wiskey leader go ahead over. Wisky wisky leader inbound your location heavy. Huh? I said roger and would you like smoke, he said yes and that they were 1 mike out from the north east. So we poped smoke and started to look for a jet. Wiskey leader 76 mike smoke poped over, Wiskey leader have smoke (yellow) over, conferm yellow smoke, drop in tree line to our south.
Now we are looking north east and nothing, all of a sudden this big black thing came over us about 75 feet off the ground at around 6-700 mph( behind us) Scarred the crapp out of us. (I thought it was a rocket) he turned left and went straight up. While this was happening and all eyes were on this jet going straight up another one came in at tree top and the tree line erupted in a huge ball of fire that you could feel 300 meters away.
Wiskey wiskey leader 76 over, Roger wisky leader on target.
