Did you happen to know a bird colonel named Art Beall? Seems to me he was at
Dickie Goober at about that time....he was a Rescue type.....flew both
conventional and choppers.

I was in the 326FIS at R-G AFB KC MO around 1960. We didn't have an
ILS at RG so we used to take our F102s over to Topeka Municipal, about
50 miles away, to shoot them. I'd made a couple ILS approaches when
the tower asked for a low pass. I replied "How low?" and the FAA type
(!) advised me "There's 1/4 inch pea gravel on the overrun." I wasn't
that low . .
