And it's a much larger plane than you realize until you see one in person. Saw one at an airshow sitting near a Corsair, and it dwarfed the Corsair. It's a monster.

For a great read, pick up a copy of My Secret War by Richard S. Drury

This first-hand account of pilot Richard Drury captures the eerie beauty of Asia and the ugliness of war as aerial missions of raw courage were carried out in a war that officially did not exist. A classic true-life account of combat-action and adventure in the air over Laos.
