[MilCom] Re: Roll Call/NAS Fallon

[Larry Van Horn, N5FPW]

One of my worst memories of Fallon was walking the entire length of B-19 
looking for a seeker head on an LGB that didn't failed after departing one 
of our F/A-18 aircraft. It sure can get hot out there in the desert during 
July. ;-)))

I did 5 trips to the desert. It was a lot of fun.
