S05E03: 1967 (Minor Inconveniences)
1967.12.08
Escort duty! In the same Vihn place as the last time. A hole, that even the Vietnamese don't care for enough to actually defend.

In which the GUI strikes again
I warned about this in the second season!
I wasn't wasteful, although I'm not sure, that the unspent ordnance is returned to the stores.
But 11 months earlier...

Another escort run, taking the slowest plane on hand to the most remote target. Pure genius.
The mission video
In which the future looks dim
Put it this way - if our planes carry something, that something kills.
A medal for performing my duty under intense enemy
fire...Here's a link to some photos of that special bomb. It might not have the best text description of the event, but the bottom of the page is dedicated to the scale models of it.
And some photos
The real SA-2 blast.
Snatched hereRemember, how huge the F-105 is?
Snatched hereAnd this page will show you the sights of real SA-2 sites.
And lastly, a very dedicated Hungarian guy is coding a freeware SAM Simulator, which features a couple of SA-2 variants. Give it a shot, if you like something switch-based, like sub sims.

Well, since he didn't include any picture of the Sani-Flush Bomb. Allow me.
When they arrived in the combat zone and were getting organized with their Forward Air Controller (Guy in a observation plane who tells them what to bomb) they listed off the ordnance they were carrying and ended with one special payload "code named Sani-Flush". When they explained to the confused FAC, he bemusedly insisted on having his pilot fly the plane alongside the Skyraiders so he could see it himself.
