This story started very much as a side project about four months ago, I had not intended it to become a video for YouTube, I was just reading various books on the Misty operations, making notes, then notes became paragraphs, before long, it became a story.

So, i figured it would be a shame to make a video about the Misty Mission, probably the deadliest missions of the Vietnam air War, flown by some of the bravest men I have ever read about.

For a select group of 157 USAF pilots, a single word would come to define courage and sacrifice in the Vietnam War: Misty. As part of an elite, volunteer unit, these pilots flew the F-100 Super Sabre on some of the deadliest forward air controller (FAC) missions in military history.

Tasked with locating and marking enemy targets deep in the jungles of Laos and North Vietnam, Misty pilots braved anti-aircraft fire, missiles, and SAMs, flying low over dense jungles to support critical airstrikes against well-hidden supply lines and fortified positions.

This was a job for adventurers, patriots, and those who thrived on the razor’s edge. But the reality of Misty missions was far grimmer than anticipated: a relentless, hazardous role, demanding extreme skill, endurance, and bravery.

Nearly a quarter of Misty FACs would be lost, wounded, or captured by the time the program ended in 1970.
