Twenty Four Hour Spad Missions
Just curious.
In 1958 a friend of mine in Airgroup Nineteen said that some of his VA-195 AD squadron mates had SIOP missions as long as twenty four hours during our WestPac deployment. He claimed to have flown a fifteen hour SIOP training mission. He also said they carried four different types of pills to keep them awake and alert, especially during carrier landing on return. Fortunately I was in VA-192 flying the FJ-4B which had SIOP missions of three hours max. Can anyone verify Spad SIOP missions of 24 hours? Bill Allen end |
