40 years ago today I was ferrying a F-89J from the Maine Air Guard at Bangor, ME to the Oregon Air Guard at Portland OR. Chugging along at 20K, keeping under the big jet stream blowing east, I was about 150 out of Oklahoma City, my next refueling stop, when ATC came up on frequency and announced that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas and was dead. May he rest in peace. Big John I was about 6 years old in 1st grade Catholic School. They anounced it over the PA and everyone was listening intently until they said the buses wouild be arriving early for an early dismissal. Then great chears went up!!! JFK became a marter for first grade children. John Roncallo |
