Description
"Welcome To North Vietnam" -- I worked with Ed Beakley to re-create his "Alpha Formation" that had a SAM blast through their triangle of A-7 Corsair II's over NVM near the Thanh Hoa Bridge. Be it luck or a miracle, the missile exploded far enough above them that they completed their mission and returned unscathed.

Thank you Scott and as Ed mentioned the edits have been made to remove the low-level booster. One of the advantages to working digitally is having "working" file always available.

Scott, good catch. This has been on half dozen or so aviation themed FB pages and only a couple of people caught. It slipped right by me (I'm #3). We were at about 15k so booster would definitely been gone. Having conversed with other guys, this is an almost unseen event in that you normally saw launch about 10 miles out with big flash, booster burns out and rocket burn is less (but still visible as confirmed by view night launch). Then snaking bang-bang guidance begins. This happened so quickly that after 44 years just didn't think about it trying to get all other perspective correct. I have asked Peter to mod.
