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.
