Constellation, with assigned Carrier Air Group 14 (CVG-14), was deployed to the Western Pacific from 21 February to 10 September 1963.

305th AMS 1984-1986 305th OMS 87-88 go Can Do 305 AReFW at the time we were the largest AR wing in the world. KC-135A,D and RT 135's (A model's that at one time were modified for radio relay and had fuel receiving receptors) also EC-135G and L aircraft.
 
In my 1st tour, West Germany 1969, 1st Brigade (Airborne), 8th ID. Against regs to take these, I think, and I have nothing else to say about that! T-10's dropping from a C-141.
