Thanks. That is very touching. Reminds me of our current doggy Cody.

[Interesting Times]

I know he watched Strategic Air Command, but I don’t recall him saying much about it. He preferred A Gathering Of Eagles with Rock Hudson as a more accurate depiction of life on a SAC airbase.

I was in SAC. Japan and Omaha.

Yes, he thought A Gathering Of Eagles was very good and had mentioned that to me several times. It was a much later discussion on the 2 movies that he said he didn’t know that B-47s were in the 2d half of Strategic Air Command.
