Zaragoza AFB Air Show, 1962



Apology: Please use the SCROLL BARS to view this really old newsclipping. Made it really huge for clarity!

This was the Thanksgiving for the 1962 Cuban Crisis. After the crews volunteered and the press release made it to 16th AF, they decided that the Aircrews were to precious a commodity to place in jeopardy and they would not allow the crews to take over flight line security. Therefore, “D” Flight who was frozen on swings volunteered along with overhead personnel to relieve the entire flight so the could ALL eat together, so it was one big chow relief.
