  • "SANDY" SANCHEZ by Msgt Barry L
    SATOR S. "SANDY" SANCHEZ by MSgt Barry L. Spink Splintered wood and jagged metal fragments exploded past Staff Sergeant Sator S. "Sandy" Sanchez's face as he desperately pushed the BT-13's rudder pedals in an effort to stop the runaway aircraft. Two minutes earlier, Sanchez had spotted the crewless aircraft taxing on its own power down Merced Army Air Field's flightline. The bright California sunshine gleamed off the whirling propeller as the empty aircraft headed for other aircraft neatly lined up on the concrete ramp, leading into a maintenance hangar. Sandy didn't hesitate a moment. Running as fast as he could, Sanchez caught up to the aircraft, but the force of air racing back across the wings and fuselage from the propeller slowed him down. Trying to reach the edge of the open rear cockpit, the sergeant could see his prize slowly crawl away from him. Suddenly, a giant hand slapped Sandy to the rough pavement and the BT-13 rolled on. The horizontal stabilizer had caught him on the upper back and pushed him out of the way. Determined now, more than ever, the diminutive airplane maintenance inspector jumped up and again raced to the errant aircraft. With a Herculean effort, Sandy grabbed the sill of the rear most cockpit and pulled himself in. He immediately turned off the ignition switch, and glanced up to see the imminent collision. Sator's hands flew across the cockpit in desperation; closing the throttle, pulling the mixture control lever, and pushing the tops of the rudder pedals to initiate braking action.

Strickland Interview Summary MilColl OH 833 Interviewee: Wilton W. Strickland Interviewer: Sion Harrington III Interview Date: February 11, 2003 Interview Location: Tarboro, N.C. Interview Runtime: 1:28:07 Biographical Sketch Wilton Wayne Strickland was born on June 10, 1934, in Nashville, N.C., to William Berry and Tempe Vada Lewis Strickland. He was the youngest of eight siblings, and was raised on a farm in Nash County, N.C. He attended North Carolina State College (present-day North Carolina State University) from 1952 to 1956, where he participated in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC). Strickland entered active duty in the U.S. Air Force in February 1957. Initially an Aviation Cadet recruit, Strickland was unable to continue with the program because he had married shortly before he went on active duty, which went against the Aviation Cadet Training program rules. He reverted to enlisted status, and attended basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Strickland then attended mechanics training at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita County, Texas. He served as an air craft mechanic in the 98th Bombardment Wing at Lincoln Air Force Base, Nebraska. In 1959, Strickland entered Officers Candidate School at Lackland AFB, and would receive his commission on February 15, 1960. He then attended navigator pre-flight training at Harlingen Air Force Base, Texas; bombing navigation training at Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento County, California; and aircrew survival training at Stead Air Force Base in Washoe County, Nevada.

  • Npl Site Listing Narrative
    NPL Site Narrative for Castle Air Force Base (6 Areas) CASTLE AIR FORCE BASE (6 AREAS) Merced, California Conditions at proposal (October 15, 1984): Castle Air Force Base is in Merced, Merced County, California. The base consists of 2,777 acres of runways and airfield operations, industrial areas, and housing for base personnel. In the past, spent solvents (trichloroethylene and trichloroethane), cyanide, cadmium, fuels, and waste oils have been disposed of into on-site chemical disposal pits and landfills. The drinking water supply for the base is drawn from an aquifer underlying the base at a depth of approximately 300 feet. This has been contaminated by trichloroethylene. The Air Force has installed a new drinking water well for the base that will draw from a deeper, uncontaminated aquifer. The well is scheduled to be operational in the fall of 1984. Castle Air Force Base is participating in the Installation Restoration Program (IRP), established in 1978. Under this program, the Department of Defense seeks to identify, investigate, and clean up contamination from hazardous materials. The Air Force completed Phase I (records search) in October 1983. Phase II (preliminary survey) is scheduled to begin in late 1984. Status (July 22, 1987): Castle Air Force Base has completed installation and hookup of a new drinking water supply well for the base. IRP Phase II is underway to determine which areas on the installation need further action. Within the boundaries of this Federal facility, there are areas subject to the Subtitle C corrective action authorities of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). However, no such areas were included in scoring this specific site.

  • DAVID CHARLES JONES Was Born in Aberdeen, South Dakota, on July 9
    Gen. David Charles Jones July 1, 1974–June 20, 1978 Portrait by Robert L. Scharr AVID CHARLES JONES was born in Aberdeen, South Dakota, on July 9, 1921. Growing up in Minot, North Dakota, he often rode his bicycle to a nearby airfield Dand fantasized about becoming a combat pilot. Following graduation from the local high school, he attended the University of North Dakota and Minot State College. In April 1942 he left college to join the U.S. Army Air Corps and received his commission and pilot’s wings in February 1943. After serving as a flying instructor in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, Lieutenant Jones was assigned to the 3d Emergency Rescue Squadron of the Fifth Air Force in Japan in 1945. He began as a unit pilot, flying Catalina flying boats, and rose to command the squadron. He was promoted to captain in April 1946. From 1948 to 1949 Jones was a unit instructor and then assistant operations and training officer with the 2236th Air Force Reserve Training Cen- ter, Godman Field, Kentucky. Also during this period, he attended the Air Tactical School at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida; the Atomic Energy Course at Keesler Air Force Base, Missis- sippi; and the Armed Forces Special Weapons Course at Sandia Base, New Mexico. Jones was assigned to the 19th Bombardment Squadron at March Air Force Base, Cali- fornia, in January 1950 and promoted to major in February 1951. During his three-and-one- half years with the 19th, he rose to aircraft commander, then operations officer, and finally commander of the squadron.

His adventurous spirit would not allow him to sit the bench while this new technology took off. In April of 1911, Hap Arnold began learning how to fly— his instructors: the Wright Brothers! A year later, while flying his Wright Model C airplane, he went into an uncontrolled spin. He was able to recover the aircraft, but this event so traumatized Hap that he didn’t know if he could ever convince himself to fly again.
