Not exact No Name City leaky floorboards but I mined 90% silver daily for 6 months in Japan, Itazuke AB Officer’s Club .10 & .25 slots. I was Combat Fox USAF Expedition Pueblo response force EB-66 Det 1 363rd Tac Wing Shaw AFB. SC, May- Nov ’68. Sched was brief 8AM at East side Fukuoka Intl runway as Itazuke side on caretaker status since Korea. Housing and Admin was 10 mi north, wrong side of the highway for the Ford Vans. I’d plan an out and back to a volcano and we’d burn some JP4 and do a look see show the flag. Some days we’d train Jap Defense Marine F-104s in ECM defenses past Hiroshima on E China Sea. My EWO Charley Izo has a kill who ran out of fuel on landing approach so damn frustrated no over and over tail chase lock on way past bingo fuel.
I saw the pre ’65 coins in the bar slots never been changed in the 4 years just emptied, bagged used over and over. Mid-’68 many still the 90% silver. I’d get $20 in dimes and $25 quarters, sort them and then play them through, sort the drop outs and go home. Still have then in bags so current a dime is $1 and quarter $ 2.60 with POS $15. MId ’68 POS was near $2+/- but still in profit passing few hours time. Jackpots came out in more coins to play the base metals again. Still working it when Pueblo crew released pre Xmas time and we went on home to Shaw.
For REAL fun we did a run for the border. ChiComs learned quick the EB-66 E model active hi power jammer led the fighter bomber fleet into N Viet. We had both E’s 3 man crew with Pilot, Nav Bomb and EWO in cockpit and C’s where 4 ECM operators sat in the bomb bay area to monitor signals. Each EWO’d take a spectrum and plot the source to triangulate with my nav log time and place. Ancient Elint stuff unchanged since
about Columbus. For kicks after brief we’d fly an E jammer and C collector on course direct to 38 Parallel N Korea DMZ some 100’s of miles off Japan W coast. Into S Korea space we’d abruptly blast the active jammers and the C model crew’d plot every radar threat signal to came up in response. Our fighter bombers were F4-Cs on Okinawa where my old boss Yeager had them bedded down from N Carolina. In real practice they’d be hiding behind down low then up into our ECM cover as in VietNam. We simply waited them out instead and finally all got home. They kept the boat.
