Hi There was an incident involving an R.C.A.F. Station Namao-based S.A.C. KC-135 Stratotanker back in 1961. (S.A.C. maintained a standing tanker detachment at R.C.A.F. Station Namao, located just north of the city of Edmonton, Alberta. The aircraft had been involved in refueling a B-52 north of R.C.A.F. Station Namao, when one of the windows blew out at altitude and partially sucked one of the crew out of the aircraft. Apparently the resulting trauma to his body allowed all the blood to be sucked out. I talked to an old boomer who recalled the incident and said that when the plane landed at Namao, there was a stream of frozen blood running along the side of the fuselage. Cheers...Chris |
