Yep, that's how it looked alright. I remember making spiraling IFR apporaches into Khe Sanh so often with GCA talking us through the clouds it became routine, mundane, almost boring. Couldn't see sierra. Then came the day we broke out on the bottom just as an F-4 roared beneath our Huey. We got a little of that pendulum action, and I swear I could see the F-4 driver writing on his knee board. Just a quick flash, but the picture is still in my head almost 40 years later. After that I still couldn't see sierra, but it was never mundane or boring again!
