I was there from 1963-1965 remember the Cuban missile crisis? 95th A&E ECM B-52. I had non-crew member flight status. What was your tail number? I remember the U2 that landed. I was in the aero club and when we went on COCOA alert that made me circle the water tower.

My dad was an ECM officer stationed at Biggs from 1962 to 1966 (Major Henry J. Parent). We lived at 7416 Castle drive. I remember spending Thanksgiving and New Years with my dad at the alert shack when he was on alert status. So many great memories as a kid in the 60's! You may recall the base commander as Col. Netcher and I believe he was replaced by Col. Johnson which he was later promoted to Gen. when he was transferred to Bunker Hill AFB to oversee the B-58 Hustler program.
