Good day Michael,

I was looking at the dates, your earlier post has -

4 Dec 66
F-4B 559 TFS SAM

While the "Scramble" has -

3 December 1966
63-7608 - F-4C - 559thTFS/12th TFW. 15 M, SE of Yen Bai NVN. Shot down by SAM.

I would accept that this F-4 is one and the same claim .

So my question is - Why the difference of one day for the loss , has it got something to do with the time that was used by the Vietnamese and the US being different?
