Now you know who the crew chief was that took the film from the nose cone of the F-105 and exposed the film. Dad did this upon the order from Colonel Broughton respectfully and willfully.

I remember one of the witnesses on the flight line was grilled later by a military attorney about what he saw. He replied something like, "The Colonel and (probably your Dad) appeared to be reviewing the flight films near the airplane." The attorney asked whether he didn't find that unusual, that they would unroll the film under bright lights that would obviously damage or destroy it. The reply came back, "No sir, if the Colonel wants to look at film at night under the lights, that's fine with me."
