[R-390] Kindley AFB Rx Pic

[Dan Arney]

Glen, Kindley AFB was located in Bermuda.
I was a Tech Rep for Land-Air Inc. to the 53rd Weather Recon Sqd. flying 
WB-29's. IIRC they 12 WB's. We were riding out a Hurricane in the "O" 
club on the hill watching things go flying by, the anemometer  on the 
tower departed at 130 Knots after the eye passed.
They had 6 of the WB's crewed and on the ramp facing into the wind with 
all engines running. They refueled them during the lull of the eye.
The second one from the hanger to the west became airborne and landed at 
Hunter AFB in Savannah Georgia 880? miles away. This was in the press 
and the Air Force Times. About 50 people in the "O" club saw it and some 
photos were taken, that showed up in The AFT.

We had to take a taxi, bus or rent a motorized bicycle. Only residents 
could drive cars on the Island.
