[ARC5] OT: Chilling B-52 Radio Traffic from Operation Linebacker II

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I believe I'll pass on listening to that audio. 
 
As a crewmember on the first B-52 mission from 
Anderson AFB, Guam to Viet Nam on 18 Jun 1965, 
I still remember the beeping beacons from the 
five of twelve crewmembers who managed to eject 
from the mid-air collision just prior to the 
refueling area. 
 
A book entitled "Arc Light One" was written by 
a surviving co-pilot of that mid-air. Pretty 
interesting reading.
