-lUPD-The guided missile hasn't
knocked the piloted fighter
out of the skies yet-and it
probably will be a long time
before It does.
That is the thinking of the
officers In the higher echelons
of Tactical Air Command
(TAC), the highly mobile, fast
reaction arm of the Air Force
created to fight in a limited
or a general war, if need be,
and to act as a deterrent to
both.
uiu i. it flint an "orsaniza-
Hon like TAC always will
need manned aircraft?"
Lt. Gen. Jacob E. Smart
vice commander of TAC, put
it this way:
"The manned aircraft has
a man who is capable of
thinking, and that provides a
degree of flexibility that can't
be built Into a missile."
Maj. Gen. Karl Truesdell
Jr., commander of TAC's 12th
Air Force, with Its nearly
1,000 fighter planes, offered

this opinion:
"TAC will be flying manned
aircraft long after SAC (Stra
tegic Air Command) has gone
to missiles because of Its limit
ed war role."
What If General War?
Gen. Truesdell's statement
rings valid assuming the U.S.
is forced to fight a limited
war, such as Korea, in which
highest authority rules against
using nuclear weapons, or it
Is impossible or impractical
to use strategic rockets. But
what If a general war ever
comes?
"If a war has started and
we are going to use nuclear
weapons," Gen. Truesdell said
in an interview, "give the
pilot a bomb and he can drop
it if he sees a 'real target' (of
opportunity). A missile has to
be fired at a fixed target."
And, operating on the con
viction that the manned fight
er will be around for a long
time, TAC trains its fighter
pilots to a high degree of skill
at this sprawling desert base
on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
The degree of skill Is "much
superior" to that of the World
War II fighter pilot, according
to Brig.. Gen. John N. Ew-
bank Jr., commander of TAC's
4520th Combat Crew Training
Wing at Nellls. He put it
bluntly: '
"Our Job Is to teach the
pilot to use his plane as a
weapon."
The young trainees who
come in to Nellis are far
from novices when it comes
to flying. They've been turn
ed out as qualified pilots by
the Air Training Command,
and then sharpened in flying
the F100, TAC's current basic
fighter, at Luke Air . Force
Base, Ariz., before reporting
to the 4520th.
The training at Nellis,
which turns them into quali
fied combat pilots, has been
compared to awarding a doc
tor's degree in a university.
Air Training Command gave
them their , "bachelor's de
gree" by teaching them to
fly. The "master's" was earn
ed at Luke AFB.
50 Hours in Air
During their three-month
tour at Nellis, the trainees
put in 50 hours in the air,
flying 33 sorties In the F100,
or fly 45 hours under the
new F105 training program.
The Republic F105, an all-
weather, t w 1 c e-the-speed-of-
sound fighter with an Internal
bomb bay, eventually will re
place the F100 as TAC's
basic fighter. '. -i
Flying over a gunnery and
bombing range bigger than
the state of Connecticut, the
young pilots get instrument
training, practice in refueling
aloft, tiring air-to-air weapons
such as the Sidewinder mis
sile ("Every time you fire one
it's like pushing a new Chev
rolet off a cliff," one officer
said, "but it's necessary"), and
firing or dropping air-to-ground
weapons such as rock
ets or bombs.. Dropping or
tossing nuclear weapons
(only a '"shape," not an actual
weapon, Is used) also is on the
agenda.
"We put in an 11 to 12-hour
day," said 2nd Lt. Joe Cough
lin ot Jackson, Tenn., a new
arrival at Nellis. "It's not an
8-to-5 day, but It's reward
ing." The day for trainees like
Coughlin starts at 6 or 6:30
a.m. when he reports to his
unit, the 4521st Combat Crew
Training Squadron. Then
there are briefings and ground
school, a half-hour break for
lunch, and flying or more
ground school until 5 p.m
Regularly the men are back
in the evening for more
ground study.
'Undar Gun'
When they head off a train
ing flight, with bombs or nu
clear "shapes" aboard, the
trainees are "under the gun"
to prove themselves. After a
nearly two-hour flight, follow
Ing courses they pre-plot. the
students are expected to ar
rive on-time over ground tar
gets that almost are impossi
ble to see from the air, and
which they've never seen be
fore.
An Instructor flies nearby
and rates the students on time
on target and the accuracy
of the bomb drop, as well as
all other aspects of flying.
"If they miss the time over
target by three minutes (after
a two-hour flight), that's fail
ing," said Capt. Robert Nel
son of Gardena, Calif., assist
ant operations officer of the
4521st. "Within 10 seconds is
oustanding. We have a lot of
them."
Typical of the men the 12th
is training is 2nd Lt. David
J. Sullivan of Upper Marl
boro, Md. He's in his early
20's, he dedicated and he ask
ed for TAC and fighter train
ing after finishing pilot train
ing. His reason:
"What you do, you do, your
self. That's why I wanted
fighters over bombers."
Once they are combat quali
fied, the pilots either are as
signed to tactical units in
overseas air forces-it's TAC's
job to train .the pilpts for
overseas commands-or to one
of the TAC units in the United
States. .
The 12th Air Force, which
embraces all of TAC's fighter
units, has F100, F104 and
F105 squadrons spotted from
coast-to-coast at such bases as
Seymour Johnson AFB in
North Carolina, England AFB
in Louisiana, Cannon AFB in
New Mexico and George AFB
in California.
No Overseas Bases
TAC itself has no overseas
bases,, although it rotates as
signment to Turkey, Italy and
Spain. TAC has found it more
practical and less expensive
to the taxpayer to maintain
itself on alert in the United
States, ready to Jump off east
or west if it is needed to fight
-or to prevent a fight from
starting. ,
What of the men turned out
by Nellis? Are they equipped
to fight, and even drop a
nuclear weapon, if necessary?
Maj. Charles Barnctt of Los
Angeles, commander of the
334th Tactical Fighter Squad
ron, an F105 unit at Seymour
Johnson AFB, answered both:
"In the last eight years I've
had three different fighter
squadrons (two of them over
seas) and the ability of this is
above any one I've ever had."
As for dropping a nuclear
weapon, he said:
"I don't think anyone wants
to drop one. You know what
it is going to do. But if it
comes to a case of war,, we'll
do it if we have to."

If you care about surveys and statistics and that sort of thing, you probably should
) know that more people in the West drink their coffee black than in any other
area. Which is not so surprising, maybe. But more drink it black in restaurants
than they do at home. Which ought to prove a point or two about restaurant
coffee, the cream and sugar being handy and free and all. When the cupful is on
its own like that -nothing to dilute or divert the flavor -it has to be good coffee.
Which is what we've been saying about restaurant coffee for years; what we've
been saying about Boyd's, anyway. Which, in the Northwest, is the same thing.
Four thousand restaurants prove it -they serve a million cups of Boyd's every day.
n O We think it's great ijyour husband takes you out to dinner.

But don't wait you can get Boyd's at the store, too.
OH, GO AHEAD AND USE CREAM AND SUGAR
IT WON'T HURT BOYD'S A BIT

We come across many a young Fellow
like this in our job of exploring and
drilling for oil.
As a visitor in the forest, Standard
has a responsibility to protect wild
life and keep the wilderness fresh and
green. And we accomplish this in
several ways by working closely with
fish and game and wildlife officials.
. We steer around the feeding grounds,
using soft-tired vehicles to preserve
the natural ground cover. When well
are in, we assure new growth by re
seeding grassland and planting young
trees on the work area.
Water wells, essential to our drilling
operations, also nourish thirsty plant '
and animals. ..and nesting and breed
ing ponds are built for wild fowl.
Exploring teams in helicopters keep
sharp watch for fires, and on the
ground our meo with bulldozers and
water trucks stand ready to help
when fire strikes.
Wherever Standard taps new oil
reserves to serve the nation the
forest and the animals who live there
are protected.
