Subject: Dominic 1

I was involved in 3 of the Dominic 1 events: Arkansas, Questa, and Frigate Bird. I was an enlisted flight crewmember of a WV-2 radar picket aircraft of AEWBARRONPAC. We were there primarily to keep track of the Russian surveillance ships in the area. I saw Arkansas and Questa from the ground on Christmas Island, and was airborne when Frigate Bird went off.
