The link below shows just how dangerous flying
into a thunderboomer can be. I understand that more
aircraft were lost in Vietnam due to weather than
enemy fire. How accurate is that statement and
did weather also account for more losses than combat
in previous wars (e.g: WW2, Korea, etc?)

Weather has been the direct cause and indirect contributor to several
helo and UAV losses in OEF and OIF. Its hard to find direct info on
this but wx could well be the leading causal factor in aircraft losses
in those two conflicts
