In 1968 I flew with my wife and baby daughter on an Iranian Air Force C-130
from Lajes Field in the Azores to Gander Air Force Base in Newfoundland.
I had committed the sin of disregarding US Air Force regulations on
accompaniment by dependents (hey, my wife and daughter can travel where
they please, they're not GIs like me...) and so not only did they keep us
off USAF flights but they told Canadian and British aircrews that they
(USAF) wouldn't service their planes if they took us. The Iranian AF used
Portuguese ground services, so it was no problem for them. They were
wonderfully hospitable to us outcasts.
If I make it to one of the 9cons I'll tell you the story of diplomatic
maneuverings to get GI families deported from the Azores. (This was during
Vietnam; the USAF had never before dealt with virtual conscripts like us,
who just wouldn't get with the program.)
