Crew E36 Bomb Comp 1983
|
Crew E-36 participated in Bomb Comp
1983. This was one of our practice missions which consisted of take off, air
refueling, low level bomb runs, high level bomb run, celestial navigation leg,
and return to base. A mission like this might be 8-10 hours in the air.
After
bomb comp the crew was broken up. Most of us went to instructor school at
Castle AFB. After instructor school I returned to Minot AFB to become the Wing EWO. |

Radar Navigator Phil Kasznicki knows all
his aimpoints and target coordinates by heart. Those charts and logs are for
reference only. For sitting in downward firing ejection seat he sure looks
comfortable. |

Doug Davis goes about his work as an
outstanding navigator. |

Gunner Harley Gomes waves for the
camera. Harley always does a great job keeping the ASG-21 tuned up and ready to
go and watching the SATCOM traffic. |

Electronic Warfare Officer Tom Keely at
the sextant making a cel shot. If nobody was watching, I'd set two sextant
cases on top of each other, throw on a cushion from the IEW's seat and sit down
and shoot cel. |
