They did have MiG 15s, 17s and 21s given to them by the USSR and China (as well as training) which were very capable during the war. IIRC quite a few Vietnamese pilots became aces.AussieReaper wrote:

Below are 16 facts about the new pope.
1. His real name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio
2. He is 76-years-old
3. He is an Argentinean
4. He is the first Jesuit priest to become Pope
5. He is the first Latin American to become Pope
6. He was the runner-up during the last conclave that elected Pope
Emeritus Benedict XVI
7. He is a conservative known for his strong anti-gay stance. In 2010 he described homosexuality as a "destructive attack on God's plan." He was a fierce opponent of Argentina's decision to legalise gay marriage in 2010, arguing children need to have the right to be raised and educated by a father and a mother.
8. Though conservative, he has criticised priests who refuse to baptize babies born to single mothers
9. He also believes condom can be permissible to prevent disease
10. He is well known for his austere outlook to life. He is famed for taking a bus to work every day in his native Argentina, giving up his driver and official limousine
11. His austere outlook towards life explains his choice of Francis as his papal name. Francis Assisi, who he is named after, is a popular Catholic saint who lived humbly and gave possession away to the poor
12. When he was made a cardinal, he persuaded hundreds of Argentineans not to fly to Rome to celebrate with him but instead to give the money they would have spent on plane tickets to the poor
13. In 2001, during a visit to a hospice, he washed and kissed the feet of 12 AIDS patients
14. He is respected for his intellectual prowess
15. He is an anti-corruption crusader. He has also accused Argentina's government of not doing enough to eradicate poverty
16. He has lived for more than 20 years with one functioning lung. His other lung was removed because of infection.
