| Joe Talon Lahaina, Maui, HI | Was at Beale AFB 1966 to 1968... I was 1 of the few Hawaiians based there... Started as trainee on KC-135 (tail # ???), w/SSgt. Sokovich, then as Assist. Crew Chief after a year... Enjoyed all the TDY's to Alaska, Kadena, and Utapao AFB... Missions supporting blackbird from Kadena was always special and refuel stops in Thailand was interesting, except for un-planned cargo placed on airplane to transport back to Kadena... If some buddies out there remembers, please give me a shout... 12/13/2012 @ 21:44 [ref: 67420] |
| Tom , VA | I recall being diverted to Beale in my “A” model due to Castle AFB being fogged in.
The fuel truck pulled up to the wrong side of the aircraft, and I tried to explain to the POL troop that this is an “A” model. He refused to listed, and dragged the fuel hose to the left wheel well. You should have seen his face when he shouted, “Where’s the SPR?” I then explained the differences between A’s and Q’s again, now he listened. 09/11/2012 @ 11:30 [ref: 67207] |
