6 Oct. 1972: A quartet of VA-82 A-7 aircraft from the USS America (CVA-66) dropped the Thanh Hóa Bridge in Vietnam after seven years of attacks.
They were sent in after two earlier attempts by USAF F-105s and F-100s based in Thailand failed to finish the job.

When you live something enough to take seven years to get it, send attack aircraft. Did the Air Force give the Revere signal for four from the sea?

Thanks Dale for this history lesson. There is still a lot that I don't know about the war in Vietnam even though I fought there. I strive to learn more about the war all the time. Thanks for all of your history posts.
