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.
