He was going to send for her and Bobby Jr but things got bad in soule and the interpriter of his letters fled with military movment. They lost touch . In 1951 Jin nams mother feared for their lives and demanded she marry an GI and then shipped them off to the States. I believe Bobby might have been from Ca. He was 21 in early 1956. I was told he was in charge of a bunch of keys so I think he might have been in the kitchen or Commisary. Bobby Sr now has a Grand daughter and whe would love to find him if he is still a live. http://www.picturetrail.com/abcnoah has an album titled OUM.

Wrong Way Landing

Comments: I was in the control tower in the summer of 56 when a C-47 pilot wanted to land when we had about a 500 foot ceiling. It was day time but we had no GCA. Our GCA was to stand outside the control tower and listen for the plane. At K-9 the field is surrounded on 3 sides by hills. The largest is about 3,000 feet high. The safest thing to do is to fly over the Peter Nan radio beacon and head south about 5 miles. This lets you down over the SuYoung Bay and you should be able to see the field from over the water. This pilot was very familiar with the field and deceided he could make a north to south landing. As he let down he said " I have the field in sight". To the control tower operators horror, the pilot was parallel with the field but over the SuYoung River. He is lined up for an auger into radar hill. He goes back up and for some reason comes in from from west to east. The strip is north and south only. Unwilling to accept defeat, the pilot tips the C-47 up on one wing to get a 360 heading. However, there is only about half of the 5,000 foot runway left. The good part is that he can chose which half to use. As all Air Force pilots, this guy must have been good. He was able to set the 47 down on the runway without major damage to the plane. I can't say what damage there were to any passengers life span. I was just a radio repairman who was checking equipment in the tower when this occurred. I was the one outside listening for location of the plane. I figured this was a normal landing. K-9 was a short field but 5,000 feet wide. The Base Commander was the pilot so nothing was ever said.
