FACs (forward air controllers) in Vietnam flew low and slow, searching for signs of an elusive enemy. Often they trolled themselves as bait for the NVA troops to try to shoot down. When a friendly unit made contact, having a FAC overhead made their day because the FACs controlled the bomb- rocket-, and napalm-laden fast movers, fighter jets and attack aircraft whose ordnance often made the difference between life and death.
