Ron, I was NOT defending the orders that were given to the cobra pilots about pull up and range distances. I was just making folks aware of them and why cobra units were not in close like the old C model folks. As for cobra tactics, they learned early that flying a cobra using charlie model tactics would get you killed in a hurry. Either by the terrain or by the VC as you broke away. As for the pull out at 1500 feet orders, I think as time went on and folks got smarter they ignored it. In later years it was either recinded or not enforced. It was a little like WW2. It took a while to learn to use the different machines in combat. And some folks got hurt in the process.
