Operation Arc Light talk[edit]

Talk:Operation Arc Light Did these B-52s really carry 1000 pounders in 1965? In 1972, they all (both D and G models) carried either 500 or 750 pounders.

I'd like to add information on the typical 'box' delivery footprint of cells used for CAS. One source I have says the 3-plane cells followed single file through the box, but John Paul Vann at the siege/battle of Kontum asked SAC to run the planes in formation to get a wider coverage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.118.176 (talk) 03:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Arc Light was also traditionally restricted to South Vietnam. Bombloads varied based on the mission, and by '72 at Kontum the operational parameters had changed enough that Vann might have been able to get them to vary their formations. Prior to that, especially in the early days, SAC's centralized control was so strong that any variation in formations would not have been tolerated.Intothatdarkness (talk) 15:18, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

three-plane formations known as "cells" Were also called "ball games." The three-plane formations were essential for their electronic countermeasures to work properly. — a single plane or even a pair of them could deny SAM-2 radar, range information but not azimuth — a 3-cell formation blanked radar coverage completely. Once Israelis brought home an SA-2 and supplied it to US, different tactics were used that could cause a SAM to self-destruct, but the 3-cell "ball games" continued. BTW, BULLET SHOT' was the term used for support technicians rotated to Guam on 179-day temporary duty (TDY) — 180 days or more of TDY qualified as a permanent change of station (PCS) and entitlement to PCS allowances. --Pawyilee (talk) 16:24, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

poor page

User:PaulinSaudi is correct that this is poor page, but not that it hardly matters. To circumvent edit wars, I'll work on it in User:Pawyilee/Sandbox. Editor/warriors are welcome to diddle with it, and to leave comments at User talk:Pawyilee/Sandbox. --Pawyilee (talk) 05:32, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
