Yes, I'm well aware of NOE being associated primarily with helicopters.

I've also been on numerous "loach" runs.

The A6 Intruders and other fixed-wing aircraft came "home" with branches 
and trees stii there.

I was just remembering seeing the B-52 "barely over tree tops" with the 
"latest" methodology in mind of the mid '60s.

I STILL hate chaff!  I was the one in the house that had to rake it!

Living adjacent to Eglin AFB, and the "Aux Field #9", otherwise called 
Hurlburt AFB, made for an interesting period of my life.

Saw a "lot" of interesting things that took place.
