FWIW one of my squadron mates flying a 104A out of Patrick AFB
intercepted and shot down a Hound Dog using an AIM9B. And my cross-the-street neighbor at Homestead was one of the test RNs on the Hound Dog. Walt BJ |

"BUFDRVR" wrote in message ... The BUFF BN I know locally has Hound Dog experince. Come to think of it, he never flew a short tail eithier. Do yourself a favor, to his face, never refer to him as a "BN". He was a *Radar* Navigator and he'll let you know that Nope, I have referred to his position that way with out any correction. His more interesting tales are about the school that didn't exist anyway. The guy I met at the Battle Creek Airshow did not retire, so he had less than 20 years, but he said he flew G models his whole career (how ever long that was?). |

Was this an example of expending old munitions in a useful manner (gunnery practice) and/or an active training launch for a B-52 crew? |

Even if not, I'm sure the recanting the tails of the B-52N from RAM would have won me some tolerance. |
