American Samoa 1968 ...


Contemplating the Pacific Ocean from the lava beds around Am. Samoa just south of the airport.


Captain Philip K. Dunn, USAF, about to take off from Pago Pago in a B57F - Full Pressure Suit - up to 70K feet
We flew to sample the radiation from atomic bomb tests that the French and Chinese were conducting (separately)
over the Pacific Ocean. Once a detonation was detected, we would launch to sample. We were there for about 6 weeks, 1968.
Note the red "Remove before Flight" flag behind my head protecting the ejection handle (black/yellow). Accidently
pulling that handle would spoil your day. On my back is a parachute. I sit on a rocket ejection seat.


 
Phil piloting B57F Over Canada - 1968
Pilot in front and Navigator/Technician behind. The rudder is so large because of the huge thrust
generated by the TF33 engine (25K lbs) - the same engine which powers the C-141 and similar transports.
The engine intake is the black thing behind my head. Yes, it climbed like a scalded eagle.

 
These were taken by a Canadian pilot flying a T-33 on my wing at about 30 thousand feet. Notice that
there are 2 smaller engines (J60s) below the TF33s to provide higher altitude. We were working with Canadian scientists testing
the atmosphere to see if there was any circulation between the stratosphere and the troposphere. (Yes).
This was the only 4 engine airplane in the world with a single pilot station. In fact there were no dual control trainers for the B57F.
The instructor could only talk (or yell) at you while he sat in the back.


B57F leaving from Mendoza, Argentina for Panama City. Note the lack of the extra engines under the wing.
We sampled air at high altitudes south to Tierra del Fuego and as far north as Arctic ice cap based in Fairbanks
I flew from all three, preferring the lovely Mendoza.
