Steve Ritchie and RIO Capt. Chuck DeBellevue call-sign Paula 1 received a call from an EC-121 that MiG-21s were returning home and heading their way. Ritchie turned the Phantom and headed straight for them. One MiG-21 flew right past him but based on past experience of where there is on MiG there is a second. Seconds later another MiG-21 raced by so then Ritchie did a 180 and closed on the closest MiG-21 and destroyed it. The first MiG he had encountered was now headed for another Phantom so 67-0362 turned and destroyed their second MiG-21 of the day. This was Ritchie’s third and fourth MiGs and DeBellevue’s second and third. Capt. Ritchie would end his tour in Vietnam with 5 kills while Capt. DeBellevue would score 6 making him the first RIO/WSO to score 6 kills as well as the only USAF aviator to score this many during the Vietnam War.
