?Bullseye at Avon Park? depicts an F-4C Phantom II of the Mc Dill AFB, FL based 45th TFS/56th Tactical Fighter Wing, coming off target on BRAVO Range at Avon Park, Florida. The 45th TFW was the first USAF unit to receive the F-4, the 45th, TFS, the first Air Force F-4 unit in combat in Southeast Asia, credited with the first USAF MIG kill of the Vietnam conflict and the first to suffer a loss to a Soviet SA-6 SAM missile. The squadron returned in the summer of 1965 to serve as a replacement training unit. I flew as GIB (Guy in Back) with Lt. Col. Henderson in a flight of three on a practice low level nuclear weapons delivery mission on Bravo Range on 6 April 1966. The size of the 3000 foot target from our run- in altitude of 400 feet was quite a surprise as was the rate at which it flashed by at our ground speed of 887 feet per second. We were working under a low overcast as the late afternoon sun below it gave the scene an eerie, unreal feeling. I found that these folks could indeed lay down a practice nuclear weapon right in the middle of that target. It had been a fine mission with a really good airplane and a most impressive veteran combat unit.
