In 1968-1969, there was an OL-20 based at Bien Hoa, AB, South Viet Nam. It's chase car was an SS-396 Chevelle El Camino that was painted just like anyother AF vehicle, plus it had a light-bar on the roof. It was assigned to the base Air Force Security Sq. and carried on their TA&E. The aircraft was designated an OL-20 so that if anyone asked why there was a U-2 assigned to the base, the powers-that-were could say, " You're seeing things. There are NO U-2's in country." It was only flown when the cloud cover was solid and looowww. ( about 900ft. or less ) so it could disappear quickly. It would start engines inside it's hangar, taxi out directly to the center taxiway; to the runway, and get " gone ". Anybody caught snooping around THAT hangar, without a solid gold reason, got a quick trip to LBJ. That's Long Bien Jail, for you newbies. One place nobody wanted to go. Go to LBJ and your "time-in-country" clock stopped until you got out again.
Anyway, if you model an El Camino chase car, don't forget to put the orange outrigger landing gear in the bed and have a minimum of 2 figures with it. They would be the driver and at least one guy to install the outriggers. Everytime I saw a recovery, there were TWO guys to handle the gear. Have fun!!!
