In August 1967, the 1st Marine Air Wing introduced the two-seat TA-4F Skyhawks to the three fixed-wing air groups in South Vietnam. With its good low-level fuel specs, FM radio and excellent rear seat visibility, the aircraft proved a superb vehicle for Visual Reconnaissance/Tactical Air Coordination (Airborne) (VR/TACA). commonly called FastFAC operations. The TA-4Fs were armed with two pods of 5-inch Zuni rockets, half smoke and half high explosive and full 20mm ammunition for the guns. Aviators from the Marine Aircraft Groups (MAGs) at Danang (MAG 11), Chu Lai East (MAG 12) and Chu Lai West (MAG 13) flew daily FastFAC missions in 1967-68. These included such demanding missions as coordinating the dozens of aircraft stacked up overhead the besieged garrison at Khe Sanh, finding truck convoys on the North Vietnam and Laotian trails and adjusting fire for the 16-inch guns of the USS New Jersey BB-61 in North Vietnam’s lower route packages When President Lyndon Johnson halted the bombing of North Vietnam on 1 November 1968, our mud-Marines in I Corps had to face an increasingly large and better-equipped enemy force supplied from North Vietnam through Laos. To help fix this, in January 1969, Marines consolidated the FastFAC effort and all of the TA-4Fs in MAG-11’s Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 11 (H&MS-11) aboard Danang AB.
