B-52 at Utapao During 1072 Christmas Bombing Campaign


 Pictured is B-52 at Utapao Royal Thai Airbase during the 1972 Chistmas bombing (aka Linebacker 2) North Vietnam. In the background the tails of several more Buffs can be seen. Moderate security was present as is evident per the razor wire in foreground. Our C-130 crew witnessed subsequent B-52 raids over Hanoi via proximty and radio transmissions that were very harrowing.
