Mike if you read this -Contact the www.fistofthefleet.org Association(where you can read Clint Johnson's story about the Toilet Bomb & his involvement in the Mig 17 shoot Down) & join us for our next reunion ,which is coming up in 2009 ,hopefully aboard the Midway -Best regards Bob Sullivan Hi I was with VA25 when the Toilet Bomb was Delivered ,I had been given a 4 mo enlistment extension against my will ,so I had already trained my

My airplane flew the last Skyraider mission in Vietnam and is currently in the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. After a 34 year career in the Navy and Air Force and 3 wars, my time on the A-1 is some of the most memorable. Joined the AF in '66 and went to Thailand and the F-105, but that's another story I was a SPAD plane captain with VA-25 when we flew one of the most top secret missions of the Vietnam war…”The Toilet Bomb” raid.

I must admit that I was always fearful when working around the props of those great aircraft. Much more so than when working around the jets during a launch.

I had the privalage of flyiny the right seat many times from 1959 - 1965. It was a terrific aircraft. Why is there very little literature published about the AD-5N.
