General Note

Item is audio tape with interviews of fighter pilots and one flight surgeon. Most of the interviews deal with experiences during their tour at Korat, Thailand during the Southeast Asian conflict.

The first person interviewed was Lt. Nels Running who has flown three missions in the theater. He is questioned on the quality and type of training he received at the fighter weapons school. The next interviews are with Captain Bud Millner and Captain Glen Belew upon completion of their tours (over 100 missions). The next part of the tape is Major Jimmy Jones and Major Robert M. Krone describing a Joint Chiefs of Staff mission flown 24 April 1966 against the Bac Giang Bridge where the squadron lost two pilots. Captain Secker was interviewed. The squadron flight surgeon is interviewee Dr. Marshall J. Dyke. He discusses medication between missions, a concept not taught at flight surgeon's school.
