F-100 Super Sabre "MISTY" - Flying The Most Dangerous Missions of the Vietnam Air War

Video Description

#F100 #F100supersabre #supersabre #militaryhistory #aviationhistory #vietnamwar This story started very much as a side project about four months ago, I had not intended it to become a video for YouTube, I was just reading various books on the Misty operations, making notes, then notes became paragraphs, before long, it became a story. So, i figured it would be a shame to make a video about the Misty Mission, probably the deadliest missions of the Vietnam air War, flown by some of the bravest men I have ever read about. For a select group of 157 USAF pilots, a single word would come to define courage and sacrifice in the Vietnam War: Misty. As part of an elite, volunteer unit, these pilots flew the F-100 Super Sabre on some of the deadliest forward air controller (FAC) missions in military history. Tasked with locating and marking enemy targets deep in the jungles of Laos and North Vietnam, Misty pilots braved anti-aircraft fire, missiles, and SAMs, flying low over dense jungles to support critical airstrikes against well-hidden supply lines and fortified positions. This was a job for adventurers, patriots, and those who thrived on the razor’s edge. But the reality of Misty missions was far grimmer than anticipated: a relentless, hazardous role, demanding extreme skill, endurance, and bravery. Nearly a quarter of Misty FACs would be lost, wounded, or captured by the time the program ended in 1970. ================ CONTENTS ================ 00:00:00 - F-100 Misty FACs: Legends 00:01:49 - F-100 Misty FACs: Heroes and Villains 00:10:55 - F-100 Misty FACs: The Family Model 00:18:04 - F-100 Misty FACs: Flaming Baseballs 00:28:55 - F-100 Misty FACs: Gearing Up 00:40:08 - F-100 Misty FACs: kid on the karst 00:41:05 - F-100 Misty FACs: Follow Me 00:43:12 - F-100 Misty FACs: Luck Runs Out 00:47:02 - F-100 Misty FACs: Truck Wars 00:52:35- F-100 Misty FACs: Racking up the Numbers 00:54:10 - F-100 Misty FACs: Yankee Air Pirates 00:57:54 - F-100 Misty FACs: Silence ===================== PHOTO & VIDEO CREDITS ====================== Kev Slade Brian Bickers Javier Vera Andy Davey Mike Hines Iain C.
