Can’t tell for sure, but I think the Major with the slight moustache is one of my former commanders, Joe Tyra. I know he was on that flight, but might not have been this particular crew. Very interesting story about how when they returned they were toured at the studio that was shooting “Bombers B-52″ with Natalie Wood and George Gobel. Their aircraft was nicknamed George Gobel. At Joe’s retirement party in San Antonio in (I think 1975 or 76, Natalie Wood sent a letter.

Hi Marc, I’ve had a look at the shots and I don’t think that’s him, at the time he was Lt Joe Tyra I suspect this might be him, what do you think.
Hope that helps, thanks for the information greatly appreciated.

I think you are right. Of course he wouldn’t have been a major at that time. BTW, his aircraft wasn’t named George Gobel, but a nickname that Gobel went by, something like Lucky George, but I am not certain of it.
Thanks for the post.
Obviously you knew Joe, drop me an email at fly@astound.net if you like.
Thanks again,
Marc
