Does anyone from Naha remeber sending you bird to Kadina TDY for two weeks to sit on alert? Do you remeber the mission, it was classified?????

I remember it, but don't remember why exactly! There was a story going around that an AP guarding the airplane walked int the props (while running) there during my time (67-69). Don't know if it was true or not! Of course the AP didn't make it!!!!!

That was classified and still maybe for what they were supposed to haul and where. Bob

Went to Kunson as Maintenance Officer on typhoon evac with them one time in 68. Hauled them for the F105's from Kadena great four or five days as no write ups on the four birds and the Lt Col. in charge got he and I jeeps and we raced up and down the closed runway that we set up on. Crazy guys in Jungle fatigues that brought their own Security Police with them. good memories.

I remember back in 69-70 taking vehicle from 374 FMS electric shop and driving up highway 1 to repair a hydraulic pump cannon plug a load stepped on while doing his alert preflight - I was constantly under guard escort and was leery of the internal cargo. The Herc was coked ready to go they even had the MD-3 set up to switch on instant power--- Those were the fun days when not down range to Ubon, TSN, or CRB to all my friends beers tonight in Namanuie---
