ad RATIONS ORDER NO, Je o Fo84 SAMPIER FLIGHT PROCEDURES HEADQUARTERS TASK GROUP 7.4, PROVISIONAL APO 187, c/o Postmaster 9 February 1954, 1800 1. MISSION: To obtain cloud samples as directed by the scientific observer in the Control] RB=36, 2. RESPONSIBILITIES: The Commander, Test Aircraft Unit, will insure that all F~84 pilots are familiar with this Annex and that its provisions are carried out, 36 PROCEDURES: &e F84 Sanplers, call sign TIGER, will teke off in two (2) ship elemerts as scheduled in Annex C (Aircraft Mission Execution Chart), These take offs may be rescheduled during the operation by direction of BOUNDARY TARE, Such directions will be issued to DIRTY FACE for relay to Fe84 opera tions. When airborne, each element will call the AOC, call sign DIRTY FACE, on VHF Channel "C", DIRTY FACE will tcke over direct control of the F=84!'s at this point and vector them to the sampling area, checking all IFF modes enroute, DIRTY FACE will then instruct the TIGER lead aircraft to return to mode 2. In the event that radio or IFF is inoperative on any aircraft, the two (2) ship element will be instructed by DIRTY FACE to abort mission. With radio and IFF functioning properly, the TIGER elemont will continue on course to the sampling area and when approximately ninety (90) miles from Eniwetok, DIRTY FACE will instruct them to contact the CIC, BOUNDARY TARE, for control on Channel "Ft, bo. The BOUNDARY TARE, TIGER Controller, will establish radio and IFF contact with TIGER elements as soon as possible and accept positive control. If radio or IFF is inoperative in either afroraft of a TIGER Element, BOUNDARY T4&RE will direct the TIGER Element to abort. With radio and IFF functioning properly, BOUNDARY TARE will vector the TIGER Element to the CASSIDY rendezvous controller, call sign CASSIDY ONE, who is also on VHF Channel "F", When CASSIDY ONE establishes radio and IFF contact, he will accept positive control notifying the TIGER Element and BOUNDARY TARE simultaneously. CASSIDY will vector the F-84!s to its position, then irstruct the F~8&'s to switch to VHF Channel "E" for sampler control. This control will be exercised by the Sampler Controller aboard the Control RB-36 whose call sign is CASSIDY TWO. will be conducted at altitudes and areas as directcd by CASSIDY TWO. Sampling When this mission is completed, or in the event an F=84 beccmes lost, CASSIDY TWO will instruct the aircraft to switch back to VHF Channel "F" and CASSIDY ONE will vector the F-84's back to the Sampler Controller or to BOUNDARY TARE, as appro- priate. ce When BOUNDARY TARE establishes rgdio and IFF contact with the F~84's, inbound to base from the sampling area, he will notify CASSIDY ONE and the F-84's simultaneously on VHF Channel "F", and assume positive control of the F~84's at this point, BOUNDARY TARE will give the Fe8&4's a vector to Eniwetok, maintaining positive control until approximately ninety (90) miles from base, At this point the F-84's will be instructed to switch to VHF Channel "C* and DIRTY FACE will assume positive control when radio contact is established, de F-84 call signs will be as follows: (1) 1st Plight - TIGER RED 1 and 2, (2) 2d Flight ~ TIGER RED 3 and 4.
