WHITE FALCON
LOADED UP—This illustration shows how a USAF Strategic Air
Command (SAC) FB-111 bomber will be able to carry 5G conventional
bombs weiging 750 pounds each. Forty-eight of the bombs can be car-
ried under the wings and two more internally.
New Long Range Bomber
Flies Faster, Hits Harder
President Johnson has given the
go-ahead for development, produc-
tion and deployment of a new dual
purpose jet bomber, FB-111, to
replace early models of the B-52
Stratofortress.
The first of 210 aircraft plan-
ned is scheduled for delivery in
1908 with all operational by 1971.
Total cost, plus spares and attri-
tion aircraft, is expected to be
about 1.75 billion dollars.
Announcement of the new bom-
ber was made by Secretary of De-
fense Robert S. McNamara on
Dec. 10.
FB-111 Costs Less
FB-111 cqst, plus operating ex-
penses, is less than the cost of
modifying and operating B-52
series C through F, the Secretary
pointed out. Funds for the FB-111
will be included in the FYG7 prog-
ram which will be presented to
Congress in January.
The FB-111 will be a variant of
the tactical fighter, the F-lll,
now under production for the Air
Force and Navy.
Bomber To Fly Faster
In comparison to Strategic Air
Command (SAC) B-52s it will re-
place, the FB-111 will fly faster,
both at low and high altitudes. It
will carry fifty 750-pound high
explosive bombs. The new bomber
also requires less room for take-
off and landing than the B-52s
being replaced.
When Secretary McNamara
announced actions concerning 149
Department of Defense activities
Dec. 8, some associated with B-52
operations, he noted that certain
bases would remain open for new
missions, one of which will be for
FB-111 operation. (AFNB)

I read somewhere that the Air
Force will soon be distributing in-
formation on the 1966 primary
and general elections. Data con-
tained in AFP 211-1-4 reflects
changes to voting laws ....
What’s this we hear about SSgt.
Ralph Rodriquez, of base supply,
telling everyone about polar bears
and snow snakes?.. That’s almost
as good as keep “Vietnam green.”
Seems so many Viet Cong are de-
serting because they’ve been sent
south to police up leaflets drop-
ped by the Air Force urging VC
surrenders. Oh well! ......
What’s this we hear about
a new program in the offing
to train USAF physican-pi-
lots? .......... Incidentally, the
Air Force has recently added
the McDonnell F-4C Phantom to
its strike force at Da Nang, AB,
Vietnam....... Hq. USAF is con-
sidering replacing the winter
serge uniform with the nine-
ounce, wool polyester uniform re-
cently approved to take the place
of the all-season uniform....
Another major change in the
mill for sometime is the name
change of Military Air Transport
Service to Military Airlift Com-
mand (MAC), and Major Air
Command to Major Command
(MAJCOM) ; it becomes effective
Jan. 1.
Current figures indicate that al-
most 10 per cent of Air Force per-
sonnel returning to the U.S. from
Iceland get their first base of
choice .... ORCHIDS this week
to the warehouse section of base
supply ...... ONIONS to shop-

exchange ........ RIDDLE OF

Brown + Browns
Bottle Green Bay
The National Football League ended its regular season last
Sunday with a game that will be remembered for years. The
Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Colts battled in a
playoff game for the divisional title.
Because of the injuries to Colt quarterbacks, Johnny Uni-
tas and Gary Cuozzo, it was not expected to be much of a
contest. But on the first play from^
scrimmage, Packer field general
Bart Starr was racked up at-
tempting to pass and did not see
action for the rest of the day.
Starr Yields Costly Fumble
Also on the play, Starr fumbled
and Don Shinnick of the Colts
picked up the ball and ran 25
yards for the touchdown. That
was the last time that the Colts
crossed the goal line.
Even so, the Colts led at half-
time 10 to 0 and it wasn’t until
the third period that Green Bay
reached paydirt on a short plunge
by Paul Hornung. Then with two
minutes left on the clock, Don
Chandler kicked a field goal to
tie the game and send it into sud-
den death overtime.
After exchanging punts, the
Colts were able to move the ball
into Green Bay territory to the
40 yard line. There the Packer
defense held and a Colt field goal
from the Packer 47 failed.
Chandler’s Toe Wins Title
Green Bay took over on their
own 20 and promptly moved the
ball to the Baltimore 20. On fourth
down, Don Chandler calmly kicked
his second field goal of the game
and Green Bay was the Western
Division champion for the fourth
time in the last six years.
This Sunday, the Packers will
have to be at their best as they
go against the Cleveland Browns.
Led by the ledgendary Jimmy
Brown, the Browns coasted to
their second straight Eastern Di-
vision football title and will be
trying to repeat last year’s cham-
pionship game when they demol-
ished Baltimore 27 to 0.
Healthy Browns Vs Injured Packers
The Browns are healthy and if
Starr is not able to start for
Green Bay, it could be a long day
for the Packers. However, Green
Bay has a history for getting up
for the big ones and this one is
the biggest.
Fiscal year 1966 regular ap-
pointment selection boards for
two groups of Air Force re-
serve officers have been re-
scheduled.
Seven-year line officers will
be considered May 2 instead of
March 28. 'file medical services
board, previously planned for
Jan. 31, will not convene until
March 28.

You know, sir, we couldn’t have gotten off without our tire chains!
The game will be broadcast
over Armed Forces Radio this
Sunday at 5:45 p.m. (reception
conditions permitting).
Over in the American Football
League, the Buffalo Bills took
their second straight champion-
ship as they blanked the San
Diego Chargers 23 to 0.
Castoff Kemp Rallies Bills
Buffalo quarterback Jack Kemp,
San Diego castoff, was voted the
game’s most valuable player as he
picked his former teammates
apart with his accurate passes
and excellent play calling. The
Chargers were seven-point favor-
ites in the game but the Buffalo
defensive unit completely stopped
the vaunted San Diego offensive
attack.
Earlier in the season, San Diego
defeated the Bills once and tied
them in their other meeting. It
was also the second straight year
that San Diego was favored over
Buffalo in the championship game
and both times they were dumped.

Recipe Column
Hello again. Well, Christmas is
past and the New Year’s is al-
most upon us. This week’s recipe
was contributed by Mrs. Susie M.
Hamilton of the CPO Wives’ Club.
It is for that traditional New
Year’s Day main dish:
Baked Spareribs with Sauerkraut
1. Place in a mound in the center
of a small roasting pan: l/2
quarts sauerkraut.
2. Season 4 lbs. spareribs lightly
with salt and pepper.
3. Fold the ribs into halves. Place
between the folds:
Onion slices
1 tablespoon of applesauce for
each onion slice.
3. Cover the kraut with the folded
spareribs. Bake in a hot (400
degrees F.) oven until they are
nicely browned. Baste them fre-
quently with kraut juice. Turn
the ribs over and baste them
on the other side. Add water if
necessary. Cover the pan. Re-
duce the temperature to 350
degrees.
4. Par-boil until nearly tender:
6 medium-sized potatoes
5. When the meat is nearly done,
after about 1 !4 hours cooking
in all, uncover it, place the
peeled whole potatoes around
it. Turn them frequently to per-
mit them to brown. Serve the
ribs and vegetables when the
meat is tender. OR Omit the
potatoes from the pan and serve
plain mashed potatoes with the
ribs and kraut.
This will make about four serv-
ings.
Well, there it is and my mouth
waters just thinking about it. I
wonder what recipe we’ll have for
next week; you know that’s up to
you. The recipes run in this col-
umn are all contributed and we
might run yours next week if you
submit it.
