Pursuit continued for more than 20 minutes until 2nd Colt (hit by ground fire) joined 1st to try to escape #Site85 & get back to N. Vietnam.
Both attacking Colts suffered severe bullet damage & crashed before reaching border. The 2 unengaged Colts retreated from #Site85 unharmed.
2 months later, North Vietnamese commandos overran #Site85 in deadliest single ground loss of @usairforce personnel during the #VietnamWar.
The aerial victory at #Site85 was the only shoot down of enemy plane from a helicopter during the #VietnamWar.
