there are a several people on this board who are ex military you just have to find them I don't know any personally though
Well, I will check the non-political chat before I continue and revise the radio chatter currently being worked on. NOTE: This is when the USS Saratoga gets sunk.
Alright, @GDIS Pathe. I asked around in the non-political chat. Is that the right place?
About that. I typed it wrong. They are supposed to be F-106 Delta Darts, actually.
You have some F-102s there are well - they are in the process of transitioning to F-4s.

About that. You do realise that this is 1973, not 1963, correct? On top of that, this timeline's F-14 is actually rushed into production due to the war. So.....
From the link:
... The last of the F-102s were replaced in early 1975 when additional F-4Cs were received from TAC squadrons at Luke AFB and George AFB; the last F-4C arriving in March 1976...
So there will in fact be some F-102s. Not top of the line by the start of this war, but they can certainly shoot down a Bear or Blinder or Badger. Every little bit helps!

or just sitting back 30 Yak 38 are just kills for the Americans the backfires may get out if they are lucky chances are they still die. No missiles I'm pretty sure the E1 or Tracer or was it E2 Hawkeye would have found the Raiders long before they launched.
