I have been looking for info on this subject forever! First off, where can I find photos dealing with Tomcats during the Frequent Wind mission? Second, I have heard that one Tomcat was LIGHTLY damaged by enemy flak (can anyone confirm?) I also spoke with a guy who served on another (smaller) carrier nearby during FW, and he said they had no Tomcats, but they launched A-6s, A-7s, F-4s, F-8s, and I think A-4s to support the evac, can anyone confirm the presence of any other armed aircraft aside from F-14, A-7, AC-119, A-1, AH-1, and possibly USAF F-4 and AC-130?
Photos of armed aircraft during the evac would be useful, as I too am trying to model fighters supporting the evacuation process.
