I find this article very interesting, I am retired from the AF, I was a Combat Controller. I know what happened leading up to and including that day. In an earlier post someone asked for the names of the Casualties at Desert One

Air Force
Maj. Richard L. Bakke
Maj. Harold L. Lewis, Jr.
Capt. Lyn D. McIntosh
Capt. Charles T. McMillan
Tech. Sgt. Joel C. Mayo

Marines
Staff Sgt. Dewey L. Johnson
Sgt. John D. Harvey
Cpl. George N. Holmes, Jr.

These brave Airman and Marines gave their lives for an operation that was doomed from the start. I still have nightmares about what happened, I some times wake up at night yelling to get out of the plane, my wife wakes my from these nightmares and asks what is wrong, we have been married 20 years and I still can not tell her what is wrong.
