Replying to a message of Bob Klahn to Bob Ackley:

 BK>  We didn't have "arcane" rules all that much, mostly in SAC we
 BK>  had rules about how you enter and leave the flight line, and if

At NKP the entrances to the flight line didn't even have gates on them.
While I was there somebody decided that they had to post guards at the
flightline entrances.  One night I was riding my bike in to work and noted
that the guard at the flight line entrance I used was sound asleep.

 BA>> Sandys (A1Es) and Stingers (AC119s) (and, briefly,
 BA>> Gunfighters (F4Cs) and Spectres (AC130s)) there (Nakhon
 BA>> Phanom RTAFB) but they weren't in our area of the line.  I

 BK>  Never worked on a fighter. Did work on cargo and bombers, and

 BK>  and O2A and U10.

We also had OV10s at NKP.  Neat little airplane, twin engine turboprop
looks something like a P38.  One of them took a hit from a 57mm AA
gun and lost most of the right wing outboard of the nacelle - and managed
to RTB and land successfully.
