F-16 Dead Stick Landing

Roy says, "As a former ground-to-air radio operator in the U S Airforce, I was able to separate and follow all of these transmissions. ?In those days, we copied the entire transmissions by hand (printing only, no handwriting) and it probably would have taken me an additional 10 minutes or so to finish printing this out, with pencil on a yellow pad. ?We monitored only two frequencies in each radio van and my frequencies were the emergency freq (121.9 Meg. as I recall) and a ground-to-air freq that I do not remember. We were trained to print our letters in a particular way (a "G" is a "C" with a "7" as its tail) and to print these letters very fast but readable by any and all personnel. ?I still print like this today."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
