    Tarheel: I spent some time at Nellis working on Wild Weasel II, 105Fs. Have the patch somewhere among my "stuff" yet. Worked on the RHAW system. The aircrews were some magnificent men who believed in their work, as did those of us who maintained their Thuds. I recall the hangar windows vibrating like being hit with buckshot as the Thuds hit afterburner on the runway. Not many of the birds and too few of the crew survived the work they did. I had orders for Korat in 67 but my wife's miscarriage brought me a humanitarian deferment followed by orders to a tour at Tan Son Nhut (RF-4C, RF-101C and RB-57).
