First, the USAF flew me off Guam in the cargo hold of their transport: @90° F to 32° F in 60 seconds. Then they landed me on Henderson Airfield, Hawaii, the day before I left Guam. If it weren't for the delay due to another's emergency leave, I still would have been arriving over the continental U.S. before I'd started the flight in Guam.Fozzer wrote:.......

If it hadn't been for getting bumped for the emergency leave, I'd have remained on that transport for Alaska, too. I was, instead, transferred from Hickam (I've been studying WW2 events around Vella Lavella and mistakenly typed Henderson in my initial post) to Honolulu International to a commercial flight stateside. My destination, however, was my remote radar site near Hastings, NE, with its cold winter blizzards (comparatively, what NH calls a blizzard is a breeze).1olehippy wrote:H wrote:First, the USAF flew me off Guam in the cargo hold of their transport: @90° F to 32° F in 60 seconds.

Did that in Jan '73, left Guam in the hold of a C-141 at 76 degrees & landed in Anchorage 12 hours earlier at 30 below in 15-0 browns and a jacket. Froze my bejabbers off til I caught a hop to Dallas, TX.
