F-105 combat doc via flight sim created by one who flew the mission!


Recommended Posts

This was the first SAM site killing mission of the Vietnam War, and one of the pilots who flew this bloody mission took it upon himself to put the whole thing into documentary film format, doing almost everything personally. I've read a bunch of Vietnam air war accounts and had the Air force's best Phantom crews in my home many times while assigned to Dad's special project, men who subsequently went to war and one of whom ate an SA-2 over the DMZ after the combat eval had long ended, but my perception of all that material has forever changed as a result of watching this short film. Highly recommend it!

Sublime,

That's unfortunate, since I know you live on your phone most of the time. The end credits list the following flight sims:

Microsoft FSX

Microsoft FS9

Third Wire Strike Fighter 2 Vietnam

I don't understand why your phone would have an issue, since all you're doing is streaming a vimeo video. Conceptually, how is that any different from watching YouTube, LiveLeak or anyone else's video? Have you tried streaming some other vimeo video? That might be useful in sorting out what's going on. Good luck!

Regards,
