Moonbeam Alpha Crew - 1969

They were the personnel who dreampt up, established, and maintained the USAF's capability of the Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center (ABCCC).

The ABCCC was a "flying command post" filled with individuals of different ranks, specialties and responsibilities whose task it was to coordinate the location and destruction of enemy supplies, equipment and personnel, providing protection to our own and allied ground forces, while at the same time, keeping hundreds of aircraft who were in the air, at the same time, and in the same general vicinity, from running into one another...

I was stationed with 7ACCS from Dec 85 thru Jun 90. Man, this was awesome assignment. I worked in the COMSEC vault. Never got to deploy with anyone, but always was made to feel apart of the different Orbits. We were listed under support, and in the last few months, we finally got our own orbit patch - Trump flight, with the motto, powered by support! man would love to hear from some of those guys during the mid 80’s. Take care.

My tenure in the 7th ACCS was from Aug 72 until Aug 73.  Great squadron.  I remember the monkeys in the cage outside our Ops bldg.  Also, one of our AC’s who served as the Squadron Standboard Pilot got out his slip stick and figured that if an aircrew in one of our EC-130E’s tried to abort at the go-no-go point on one of the 110 degree days with a full load of fuel, capsule and crew, they would only take out 4 of the light stanchions at the end of the runway.  Nice thought.  Our flying safety record at that time had no equal.
