I was going to say that it was that helo that evacuated the last americans from that rooftop before I saw the poll choices.

And murphy's law says the option I chose is wrong...

Well...

There is a very good chance that you are correct...

After all the F-4 flew for nearly the entire way...

However, there is equally a chance that you are incorrect, since we are talking the last sortie...

However, just so you know, even if a chopper was listed, it would be a wrong answer... Twisted Evil

I think the key here is "sortie" not last attack or whatever.

You know, I dont think we have ever had a Poll where evey possible selection was chosen by voters! Very Happy

This one is pretty diverse in opinions as well...

Hmmm... Looks like you went with the numbers...

More votes for the A-6 then any other aircraft...

But quantity doesnt mean quality! Rolling Eyes

You could be wrong....

Or you could be wrong... Laughing Laughing

I guess that gives a hint, huh? Twisted Evil

Ok, it looks like this is it on this Poll...

No new votes for posts in quite awhile now...

So...

The answer is...

The F-14!!!!!!! Shocked

People forget that the F-14 flew in Vietnam in 1975 covering the Saigon evacuate with a combat air patrol over the city...

The F-14 only had one deployment to Vietnam, aboard USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) with CVW-14, which was made from 17 September 1974 to 20 May 1975. Even though VF-1 and VF-2 Tomcats flew combat air patrols over South Vietnam as part of Operation Frequent Wind, F-14s didn't score any MiG kills.

The following squadrons belonged to Carrier Air Wing 14:
VF-1 F-14A
VF-2 F-14A

So no one got this one right, as the only vote for the Tomcat was mine...
