Comments: My 12 years as a gunner were some of the best years of my career. Flew Fs,
Ds, G, and Hs and enjoyed them all, but LOVED the D. All aft compartment commanders know
what I mean. Spent time at Minot, Seymour-Johnson, and Castle. Went a little crazy in 82
and decided I needed a change and became a Special Agent in OSI until I retired at WPAFB
in 91. It's nice to see quite a few of the old names. I'd be pleased to hear from any of
you. Be warned though; I'm now a preacher of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know
we were all wilder in our young days, but even we gunners grow old and finally sober up.

directing the maintenance effort so the new breed of BUFF crews can get there sorties.
Kinda different than riding the ejection seat. Glad to see all the great names on the
roster. I was in the 23rd with Kelly Flynn. I often wondered who would have been the best
candidate as her gunner. Many names brought a smile to my face as I imagined the
atmosphere that could have brought. Could we have survived? Drop a line if you care to,

let the Air Force know I loved it up there because I had to move to Florida four years

favorite was always the B-36 but I was too young when she was in inventory. I cannot
believe that SAC is no more. This nation is in terrible trouble and I'm worried. The
gunners position is still needed. If our BUFFs go to war again and need check six
protection we're in deep shit. Eliminating those 600+ positions was not a savings but a
political scam job. 12:32:06, August

finally got accepted and went to Castle in 75 then transfered to the 51st at
Seymour-Johnson. Pilot was Capt. Cazzaza who had the pleasure of my services in the
Spectre gunship the night he was shot down outside of NKP :-) Got out on a medical in 1977
and now work for Apple Computer. Let me know if you need a good deal on a great computer.
Speaking of great, I heard a good one the other day, a good landing is one you walk away
from, a GREAT landing is when you can still fly the plane afterwards. :-) P.S. If you all
are ever in the SF Bay area give me a call (I'm in the book) and I would be glad to fly
you over to vist the old Castle field and museum. 14:43:48, May 11 |

fire, gunners, but I'm retired from the Navy. The Navy, however, never could get gunner
out of me. Guess I was the only Buff gunner in the navy. My general quarters station in
the Persian Gulf was controlling, among other things, twin 20mm gats and 50 cals. A SAC

Steely-eyed SAC Trained Baby killers who have signed the guestbook, I saw guys like Joe
Preiss and Quinn Janke, two fine gunners I had the pleasure of hangin with in the Great
White North of Grand Forks AFB from June of '83 til December of '84, and who probably
won't even remember who I was. I wasn't there in the Fightin' 46th for long, but I learned
more about what it means to be a gunner AND about how to be a gunner from Mel Freise, Joe
Corbin, Monty Wilfong, Mike Juniper, Dave Grey and Skippy Joe-Bob during those long nights
at Johnny's bar in Emerado than any classroom could've ever taught me. Would love to hear

operators aren't as familiar with the WWW as they were with dual .50s, .20s, MD-1s, MD-5s,
ASG-15s, and ASG-21s. I am not computer literate, but as you can see for a $100 bucks I
can surf the world. Started out on C-47s as an airborne radio operator in Germany, then
KC-97Fs out of Dow AFB, Maine, attended CCTS in 59-60, got sent right back to Dow. PCS'ed
to Carswell, spent some time on Guam in April of '65, PCS'd to Izmir, Turkey--OJT'd back
into airborne radio (stationed at Aviano, Italy and Athens, Greece, before coming home).
Then EC-121s out of Mc in Sacramento. Spent all my time at Korat, RTAF base or on Tinan,
ROC. Picked up a Special Assignment to the USDAO in Istanbul, Turkey, flew on C-47s, 131s,
and almost had a shot on Air Force One when the guys who walked on the moon toured the
world (this 2nd PCS to Turkey almost cost me my wife, she hated Turkey the first time),
came back to the states and attended CCTS again then stationed at Beale, then CCTS again,
Castle, then retirement on 1/1/79 Really enjoyed looking at the pictures. Brings back
powerful visions of yesteryear. Keep up the good work. Will definitely visit again. 21:50:58, March 30 |

probably retirement. Saw a note here in the Stars & Stripes last fall (Sept-Oct 97)
about a Former POW who retired in Guam . Was shot down during the Xmas 72 campaign. Sadly,
he passed away from stroke and was being sent to the US, and I can't recall the name now.
But I do remember the name from past conversations with old heads around the alert shack.

address. A few other gunner's are here, Dalton Pratt, Dave Monk, and Rip Adcock who is now
retired. This e-mail address will be good for another month. I guess my only note worthy
accomplishments are flying combat sorties during Desert Storm out of Diego Garcia and
performing and instructing the infamous WIFF from two different aircraft while instructing
at two different CFIC's. Please write I'd be glad to hear from fellow gunner's. 17:11:24, March 21 |

Comments: Flew the buff in late 70's at Wurtsmith; got out to get a college degree in
1980 at Indiana University with the intent for returning as an EW or Photoreconn F4
backseater; got sick with gallstones, dropped out to pay the surgery bills leaving me too
old for flight school. After a year of doing high speed motion picture stuff as an Army
civilian, I returned to finish my degree at IU. Along with the VN GI Bill, I worked my way
through school as a software jockey at the IUCF cyclotron and graduated with a degree in
Astrophysics in 1986. I hired on with the Astronomy Department at IU that fall as a
Research Analyst (I call myself a Computer Jock, Etc.) My main claim to fame is building
autonomous robotic telescopes (RoboScope and SpectraBot); besides telescope control
systems, I've also published some papers on cataclysmic variable stars, quasars, and
chondrule formation in the early solar system. I've missed military flying everyday since
I left; instead of operating airborne sensors, I now build detectors that do it themselves
and I get to sleep through the night. It's as interesting as those old days; but the
excitement and the esprit de corps isn't quite the same. Have a good one.... - geo 07:10:19, March 20 |

Comments: B-52 D,G,H model Gunner. I had the pleasure of serving with Dave at Wurtsmith
and Castle AFB. This is Dave's brainchild from it's inception. Since the unfortunate
erasure, we as the persistant ones need to pass the word around and have a Gunners Call to
fill the pages again. Congrats on the new job Dave. Again AWSOME PAGE!!!!!!!!! Gary 21:36:24, March 09 |
