released), clearly and unequivocally.

Since it is not, it's hogwash.

Why would an ANG unit, in the old Air Defense
Command, have a SIOP
comitment?

I think the storys hogwash from that agle.

The Deuce had the capability to carry a nuclear
tipped missile (AIM 27, I
believe), and if President Bush's Unit was tasked
with this weapon, then the
President would have had to be on PRP. Personally,
I believe that AIM 27s
had long since been withdrawn from service.


The weapon was the AIM-26A Falcon. Not sure if the ANG ever had that
weapon,
but they did have the AIR-2A Genie.

Yeah I know, the last model of the F89 that my Dad flew was the "J" and to
my knowledge, it's only weapon was the Genie.
