Of all my flying assignments, I believe my two postings at Andersen AFB, Guam,

were the most adventuresome and rewarding. In 1962-63, I flew the WB-50D,

and returning in 1969-71, I was then flying the WC-130E. The mission duties included

tropical storm surveilance and analysis, center(eye) penetration, weather modification,

and, Apollo XII weather support providing up to the minute weather observations

used by NASA to determine the actual recovery location of "The Yankee Clipper".
