[Milsurplus] OT: Chilling B-52 Radio Traffic from OperationLinebacker II

[Meir WF2U]

>From the traffic it sounds like most SAMs in that action were launched
"blind" without guidance; when they see the SAM's, the EWO reports that
"there is no uplink" most of the time.

B-52 Radio traffic from Operation Linebacker II, 1972.
At about 1:00, a SAM blasts a B-52 and you hear the
many bail-out beacons as the surviving crew members
paracute into captivity.  
Also noteable:  There is little filthy-mouth, unlike
the audio you get from today, which features more
F-bombs than bullets.
