Only the B-47 Stratojet and B-58 Hustler (depicted in film: FAIL SAFE) never saw combat in Vietnam. All other US Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Army aircraft saw service in Vietnam: F100 Super Sabre, F101 Voodoo, F102 Delta Dagger, F104 Starfighter, F105 Thunderchief, B52 Stratofortress, B57 Canberra, B66 Destroyer, A1 Skyraider, A4 Skyhawk, A6 Intruder, A7 Corsair II, F4 Phantom, F8 Crusader, C123 cargo planes, C119s, C130 cargo planes and AC130 Spectre Gunships, SR71 Blackbird, O1 Bird Dogs, O2 Skymasters, OV-10 Broncos, DC3/C47 cargo planes/puff the magic dragon gunships, F5 Freedom fighters, T28 Trojans, and the U2.
All US Military aircraft were used in the Viet War except for:
1. The B58 Hustler (seen in the film "Fail Safe."
2. F106 Delta Dart (similar to the F102 Delta Dagger flown by former President George Bush Jr. while serving with Texas Air National Guard).
3. B47 Stratojet.
Of all the war jets fighting in Vietnam only the F100 Super Sabre fought the longest from 1961 until 1971. The F100 was also the favorite "jet" by the ground troops as it came in the lowest and loved to strafe (with its 20mm cannons). The favorite warplane of the grunts was the propeller driven A1 Skyraider as it carried the most ordnance and stayed on station the longest.
