[edit]

There's a good deal more about this topic in MASINT, Geophysical MASINT, and Special reconnaissance. IGLOO WHITE was an early stage of technology; it would be better if the article were explained both in its time period and as a precursor. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 14:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The C-130B did not replace the QU-22B until mid-1972. I was ground crew for the electronics mounted on both planes and the change-over was done sometime in the summer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2:4C80:107:9D46:A4AC:2838:B7E9 (talk) 22:18, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support aircraft table

[edit]
Supporting Igloo White aircraft

I've personally read the source that this table comes from, and while it's generally pretty accurate, this table lacks a date and has some major errors. 23rd TASS replaced its O-2s with OV-10s between 1969-1970, which did go on to support the overall interdiction mission. The Army's 361st Aviation Company was a one of a kind unit at the time of its activation, and was not an Assault Helicopter Company. 361st was an Aviation Company (Escort) from 1965-1969, when it transitioned from UH-1Cs to AH-1Gs and was relabeled an Aviation Company (Aerial Weapons). The 334th was also an Aviation Company (Aerial Weapons), and when activated was authorized AH-1G helicopters. The UH-1F helicopter was only used by the USAF. For these reasons, I think its not entirely helpful to have this table reproduced in this article and I have removed it. -- Thatguy96 (talk) 17:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The content is not consistant with the article title

[edit]

This article is not on Igloo White. Its a general discussion of multiple operations covering the entire Vietnam war. 70.234.217.8 (talk) 16:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Igloo White is the operation name most associated with these operations. It clearly says this, and this is very true. The explanation of the number of named operations associated with Igloo White, and the overall Practice Nine/Dyemarker operation, is there in detail in the article as well. I think this article very well deals with the operation, and the larger context, none of which would likely warrant separate articles. -- Thatguy96 (talk) 18:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IWCS

[edit]

Was the IWCS troposcatter network part of Igloo White? The name and the locations for stations suggest that it was. Any info please/Petebutt (talk) 03:12, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Establishment of IGLOO WHITE

[edit]

Curious why first paragraph is held within quotation marks. Also, reference to Fig. 1, but no Fig. 1 displayed. Second paragraph starts with quotation mark but has no closing quotation mark. Hingabo (talk) 14:26, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
