The SBD is back on the line and most of the re-qualifications are complete. Both the PT and the LT-6 are ready for business too. Red Nose came back for a few days of maintenance after it's highly successful northern tour for the Red Tail Squadron. With the help of squadron leader Bill Shepard, we grossed over $35,000!

The Corsair, P-51 and Kate are scheduled for the Robbins Airshow the very next weekend. Be on the lookout for an updated ride price sheet. Effective Nov. 1, some of the ride prices are going up. Happy trails Col Jim Buckley, Operations Officer WHAT’S THAT? Col Frank Kalinowski A few hints: • It was in the same competition as a novel fighter aircraft as last month’s Black Bullet. • Again, only two prototypes were built. • Although it had a number of unique features, including a pressurized cockpit, it did not demonstrate improved performance over existing aircraft, thus ending the program. • It took its name after a popular song at the time. WHAT’S THAT? Find the answer on page 11. September 2016 The Dixie Dispatch Page 4 XO Report: Col Larry Combs, Executive Officer It’s funny how you clean but when they’re gone, this task is learn something as a sometimes overlooked. kid that sticks with you for the rest of your We’ve all heard the saying “you can lead a horse life, yet most of us at to water but you can’t make him drink.” Well, my age (73) have you are all volunteers and without you, we would difficulty remember- not exist. Thousands of people would not enjoy ing what we ate for touching and feeling our WARBIRDS and for a breakfast. When I select few, actually get to fly in them. We are not joined the Air Force in paid employees so no one can make us do 1962 and was sent to anything we don’t want to do. I just hope we can Lackland AFB for motivate all to take the initiative to either correct a basic training, our trip hazard yourself when you see it or bring it to Technical Instructor (TI) gave the command “fall someone’s attention. We do not want anyone to out and police the area.” This language was become injured when it can be prevented. So my foreign to my ears and most of the other 59 pings request is to fall out and police the area each time so the TI gave us further instructions by saying you’re at our hangar. Thank all of you who already “pick up everything that moves and if you can’t do this without being asked. pick it up, paint it green.” While this seemed trivial at the time because the area around our Larry barracks appeared to be immaculate, we began our search for “anything that moves.” Low and behold, we began finding small fragments of paper left over from cigarette butts and many other things such as match sticks, etc. By now you’re wondering, where is he going with this so here you go … A couple of weeks ago, one of our members took a serious fall in the hangar while wing-walking one of our WARBIRDS as it was being moved about the hangar. He slipped on a small pile of cardboard that knocked the wind out of him but luckily was not seriously injured. Thanks to Tom, Gerhardt (Shultz), and Rodney for coming to his aid. On any given day you can walk through the shop, the Connex buildings, back yard, and the hangar and spot trip hazards. It doesn’t have to be something as obvious as cardboard but may be a spot of oil, hydraulic fluid, water, or gasoline. As Fall is just around the corner we can expect leaves and dry grass clippings to accumulate on the hangar floors if we don’t keep them swept.

  • Lacon 1 Film Program
    BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION This film program represents for the most part an extremely personal selection by me, Bill Warren, with the help of Donald F. Glut. Usually convention film programs tend to show the established classics -- THINGS TO COME, METROPOLIS, WAR OF THE WORLDS, THEM - and, of course, those are good films. But they are seen so very often -- on tv, at non-sf film programs, at regional cons, and so forth -- that we decided to try to organize a program of good and/or entertaining movies that are rarely seen. We feel we have made a good selection, with films chosen for a variety of reasons. Some of the films on the program were, until quite recently, thought to be missing or impossible to view, like JUST IMAGINE, TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL, or DR JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. Others, since they are such glorious stinkers, have been relegated to 3 a.m. once-a-year tv showings, like VOODOO MAN or PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Other fairly recent movies (and good ones, at that) were, we felt, seen by far too few people, either due to poor distribution by the releasing companies, or because they didn't make enough money to ensure a wide release, like TARGETS or THE DEVIL'S BRIDE. Still others are relatively obscure foreign films, a couple of which we took a sight-unseen gamble on, basing our selections on favorable reviews; this includes films like THE GLADIATORS and END OF AUGUST AT THE HOTEL OZONE. And finally, there are a number of films here which are personal favorites of Don's or mine which we want other people to like; this includes INTERNATIONAL HOUSE, MAD LOVE, NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, RADIO RANCH, and SPY SMASHER RETURNS.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.
