| The danger of multiple passes over the same target was illustrated yet again when a Phantom was shot down near Vinh Binh, five miles north of Kien Long in the southern tip of South Vietnam. A flight of F-4s was attacking sampans and buildings in a suspected VC stronghold but as Capt Hudson came in for his fourth strafing run his aircraft (call sign Boxer 5) was hit by small arms fire. He managed to fly a few miles away from the target area before he and his WSO ejected. They were both picked up later by a USAF helicopter. |
