"AWACS"

CCC, if memory serves me correct, john was on final approach to pad 2 or 3 at Galeota when he observed a Caiman(local alligator) in a pond , just as he crossed the shoreline, and called it in.

Fred Kissinger, the Chief Pilot then remarked that if you could see an alligator, you're too damn low !

The name "awacs" was born. Best "SFENA" off pilot I ever flew with.

Lots of funny moments at the crew house in Haji Khan.

Probably trying to get Alan Bristow into fishing right now.
