| Royce Gee Warner Robins, GA | I flew on the EC at Hickam in the 9ACCS from Jul 65 till Jul 69. on the ECs at Offutt 69 and part of 70. Went back to 9accs in 78 and flew as a Boom Operator till 82.

| John Flood Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, OTH | I flew the \'P\' model out of Langley AFB, VA when they were transferred from Hawaii to serve as the CINCLANT ABNCP.
New plenty of the names mentioned here. Flying ABNCP\'s was good duty. Have a picture of #0022 up on my wall in my den. Regards to all - John Flood 01/20/2007 @ 03:22 [ref: 15238] |
| Bobby Childress Stevens City, Virginia, VA | As ranking teletype operator, I assisted Mike Mahon in meeting the operational date for establishment of the CINCPAC ABNCP. I spent a total of 9 years in this great
organization and have many great memories. The WWABNCP was a great program and a pleasure to proudly serve with other airborne command posts and end my 29 years of service with National Airborne Command Post at Offutt. I went from USAF to FEMA and retired in 2000 at age 65. I am now 71 and in pretty good health. Mike Mahon is deceased and I have the burial location for him if anyone would want to pay their respects to him. The airborne command post communications have progressed from those early days in Hawaii flying continous airborne alert into now TACAMO and the E4B aircraft. I say hello to anyone that remembers me. We played and worked hard to keep those communications links operating. 05/11/2006 @ 18:10 [ref: 13263] |

| Winston B. Cope Martinsburg, WV | I flew as RO (Comm Team Chief) with the 9th ACCS from 1974 to 1978. Noticed some names in the above comment that I remember from that time as well. I was lucky enough to become a member of the Standarization and Evaluation Team while stationed there. We were hard-crewed with Captains Ken Kwock (A/C), and Roy Sakata (Co-Pilot). We had some great times with that crew while there. We consider our tour with the 9th ACCS as our favorite tour during our AF career. 02/08/2006 @ 18:13 [ref: 12438] |
