Last take off ?
This thread is aimed at the pilots who served through the cold war.
My question is how did you feel, knowing that at any time, the balloon could go up, you could be scrambled, go on to carry out the mission, yet there was probably nothing to come home to, including family.
Not sure if I coud have coped, and I'm just wondering how you Guys did, and what your thoughts about it were during the depths of the cold war.
Sorry if this has been covered, I searched and failed...
