Just got a text message and link from my brother on this......4925th Test Group.

Got some research to do. Dad is trying to get in touch with some old Air Force buddies who served in that unit (he forgot the unit’s designation...his mind is slipping). He’s trying to arrange one last reunion.

Your going to have to go through Kirtland AFB.

They have all the areas listed. My area was the Tonopah Range.

Knowledge of most of this activity is still classified. See what Kirtland can provide.

Christmas Atoll (sp?) comes to mind. Air dropped test, with live unprotected observers directly below. I kid you not. Videos exist, find them.

Kwaj and places like that are not free for discussion.

I would imagine that Harry Reid would oppose it.

that's where they should drop it....pre-warn him....if he can catch it, it won't go off!!!

Hmm, I think Kwaj is public knowledge now is it not?

Don’t forget the 4 H-bombs the USAF dropped on Spain...the Palomares incident in ‘66.
