A short bit on flying the C141

Found this article by Alton Brewer, Jr., in a book about "Flying Combat Aircraft" ... click here to read it.

The name is familiar to me from my time at KTCM duriing the mid-late '70s.

Apollo 15 Recovery Mission Photos

Got a note from a pilot who flew the Apollo 15 astronauts and a bunch of moon rocks from Hickam to Houston:.

These are images from the Apollo 15 Recovery mission in 1971. I scammed my way on that baby because I have a degree in Journalism and a background in Professional Photography so the 86h CO figured that he had to assign a co-pilot anyway, why not get some pub for the squadron?

I was a 141 driver with the 86th MAS at Travis from 1970 to 1975 when I separated from active duty, joining the 349th Reserve Wing at Travis in the 301st MAS (C‑5) in 1976. 4,000 of my 5,000 hours flight time are in C‑141.

Best Regards,

Edward F. "Ned" Nevels
Napa, CA

These are presented in the order in which he had them numbered, though I don't think that necessarily corresponds to the order in which they were taken.

Col. Scott, Apollo 15 Mission Commander talking with our A/C (a major who was assigned to 22nd AF Standardization but attached to the 86th for flying (his name escapes me). I don't know if it was this one or another not shown but one of them was on the cover of the Air Force Times) I own the copyright because I bought my film and paid for it's processing so the AF could not claim "work done for Hire" ownership despite my taking the images while on duty. The others have not previously been published. You have my permission to use these images on your site without charge or limits.

Lunar samples being loaded on the No 10 pallet position (It was officially designated as "Non-Jettison able!")

Col. Scott chatting with the cockpit crew

Col. Scott and crew being escorted to board our C‑141 by some star-struck Generals (including CINC PACAF, etc) after a welcoming ceremony at Hickam Base Ops after arrival by helicopter from the Aircraft Carrier. 15 was the first lunar mission where the crew did not go into isolation upon return so not custom Airstream Trailer.

From the Crew Door as the Governor of Hawaii shakes Col. Scott's hand. Just before boarding. (along with 30 NASA Doctors who were all drunk by level off...apparently they were "stuck" on the carrier waiting for 30 days-poor babies!)

Astronauts and their entourage arriving via helicopter.

Our bird on the ramp as we showed and flight-planned at Oh-Dark-Thirty before leaving for Houston.
