Description
EC-47P “Balls 9” of the 360th Tactical Electronic Warfare squadron turns base over Tan Son Nhut Airbase, narrowly avoiding the detonation of an array of anti-personnel mines along the airfield perimeter by an errant lightning strike. Though already in their third decade of service by the Vietnam War, the EC-47s performed a vital role - often flying upwards of seven hours in a single mission to collect enemy electronic emissions and intercept radio traffic.
