That's pretty cool. Interesting to see how a lot of the standards have continued to be carried over, like red for night. You can also see the "birth" of TMR codes on his 3rd or 4th month of flying. I wouldn't have guessed they went back that far.

3SEP51 "Bailed out over Pohang" with a little drawing of a parachute.
No little parachute in my logbook for the ejection over Vinh. Just the 25 June '66 green ink notation in the remarks: "CVA-61 A/C lost"!:eek:

Not to be macabre, but given the routine, maybe even even droll nature of the entries in BzB's and Armstrong's logs, I am wondering, if there is an entry, what it might be like if aircraft and crew were lost.

Looks like appropriate TMR codes in this case would end in O8.

Something like this: 8 Apr 1963 (Under Remarks ...) "Jim Xxxxxxx spins in" (First day of Med Cruise ...Flight leader and I were first on scene) or this ...

6 Jan 1965 (Under Remarks ...) "Djelfa, Algeria - Wheels Up - Crash Landing - Taken Prisoner"

A VERY happy 48th anniversary... "Busy Bee 604" lost at 1045 hrs Hanoi time on 06/25/1966. Posted at 1045 hrs PDT, today 06/25/2014.:eek:

If interested, a 13-page narrative of this incident, and dramatic SAR & double rescue under fire by a Navy helo, is available by e-mailing me at bzb604@cox.net . I will e-mail it back with the narrative as a readable attachment.:)

BzB, forgive me, but I've lost track...

Is the text of your narrative here on the site? If it is (and you desired), we can copy and paste the text into your thread for posterity. If this was already done, then disregard, I've just lost track of the audio attachment versus the narrative.
