Tad Szulc. Longtime suspected foreign agent/propagandist. Daughter was hooked up with SDS reds re Latin America thru their front group NACLA.
Yeah. Why mention the guy? Terrible writing, IMO.
I’d say he’d make a good Zodiac suspect, but born in 1950 and enlisting in 1973 means the timeline is off by a decade at least.
Everyone knows he worked for Lalo Salamanca in the cartel business.
“At that time in New York City, 37-year-old real estate developer Donald Trump was finishing the construction of Trump Tower. Hughes wouldn’t be seen again until Trump was president.”
Is the Trump Tower actually a missle silo?
That was Bugs Bunny’s line
Yeah, him. Never knew him.
This is a few years before this guy disappeared, but a fascinating story about the base (if you never read about it):

Kirkland AFB is where most of the nuclear weapons were loaded into bombers.
Hiding out in Russia I bet.
Now you've done it. The thread will be hijacked by grass knoll types...
JFK was shot in 1963. Donald Trump was born in 1946. I don’t think he was in 6th grade at the age of 17.
No. Tell that to the weapons guys at Minot, Grand Forks, Fairchild, Walker, Ramey, Altus, Shepperd, Loring, March, Castle, any of the Minuteman bases...get the drift?
It is contrary to DoD policy to confirm or deny the presence of nuclear weapons on any of those sites.
Yes. He threw his bike off a bridge over the rio grande.
I now remember hearing that. This summer he’d be out of luck, the Rio Grande has gone dry a couple times.

It’s “Kirtland.” And much more is done there, in addition to anything Zathras may have heard about.
Weapons rarely get loaded onto bombers these days. Airborne alert was discontinued in 1968, and ground alert ended in 1991.
Of the bases pfflier mentioned, only Minot still hosts B-52s. Barksdale is the only other base to host B-52s now. Whiteman hosts the only B-2 wing. Pursuant to arms control treaties, B-1Bs were decertified from carrying weapons some time after 1992.
“...enlisted in the Air Force in 1973...commissioned as an officer in 1976...master’s degree in 1979 from Air Force Institute of Technology...Seems like a rather fast rise.” [FarCenter, post 19]
The Air Force loves to tell people that it promotes according to merit and seniority, but it rarely happens that way.
Depending on worldwide conditions, national mood, and perceived need, time between promotions can be all over the map. True of the entire military establishment.
When I entered the Air Force as a cadet in 1971, officers were promoted from 2Lt to 1Lt in a year. A year after that, they were promoted to Capt. When I was commissioned in 1975, the intervals were lengthen to two years, to 1Lt, and two more years to Capt.
These changes were minimal and mild compared to what happened during 1939-1945, and a few years after.
During World War Two some men really did rise very high in a few years. Bruce K Holloway graduated from West Point in 1937 and rose to O-6 during the war. He left active duty in 1972 wearing four stars. Fortunately, he was up to the challenge.
After Jimmy Doolittle led the first air strikes against Japan in April 1942, he was promoted directly from Lt Col to Brigadier General. That was after he spent the 1920s as a Lieutenant and resigned his Regular Army commission in 1930.
Curtis LeMay was a Lieutenant in 1938, and a Major in 1941. Shortly after America entered World War Two he was promoted directly to Colonel. When victory was declared, he was the youngest two-star general in Army Air Forces .
Hmmmm, November, odd time of year to be finishing a grade.
