Stationed At Anderson AFB Dec 1969 thru May 1971

Just a few of the pictures I have when I served in the Air Force at Anderson AFB, Guam. Eight Air Force, 306th SAC Bomb Wing. Rained in Guam everyday. An hour later you could not have known. Concrete was made with clay dirt that became slippery when wet. You were ordered to walk in the street when wet instead of the side walks. Concrete buildings were not painted, outside movie theaters and great beaches, both white and black sand. Everyday a C-141 came through with the wounded from the war. They were so bad that they did not off load them for refueling. Took my camera with me on every flight.

Great pictures. I landed there in an F-100 in September 1970 when we were deploying our F-100s from Phan Rang AB back to the States. I lost my primary hydraulic system about 3 hours out from Vietnam and had to use my Emergency Blow-Down system to get the gear down before landing. I was the last plane to land that day and they had the fire trucks along the runway as I touched down, just in case the gear collapsed. Maybe you were there in the helicopter as well.

I was there then . . really a small world isn't it. We had a KC-135 collide on take-off with an F-4, ran over him in the dark, mis-communications with the tower. Tanker had over 1K feet roll, ripped the right inboard engine off with the impact, killed both guys in the F-4. Had lots of F-100s and just about everything else thru Anderson, AF Two, have lots of pictures from the air.
