經國號戰機首次升空廿週年回顧

幾天前收到華錫鈞將軍的email，他說：

年初看到公視製作的『IDF 啟示錄』，瞭解國內媒體對 IDF 尚有不少誤解。因此和漢翔同仁合作製作了『經國號戰機首次升空廿週年回顧』的影片。現在已登載在我的網站上 www.hmhfp.info/dcm/IDF_Aniv.html ，請收看並指教。

Target: North Korea

This is the flight track of mission GRC 128, flown by Hsichun Mike Hua (華錫鈞) on December 6, 1962. This mission is unique in many ways. It is not only the first North Korea mission by the 35th Squadron but also the first operational mission since Huai Chen was shot down on September 9.

In God We Trust. All Others We Monitor.

Here are selected U-2 imagery of Chinese military bases.

Google Earth users may want to download the associated kmz file to see what these bases look like now. Please save the file on your PC or copy its URL (http://taiwanairpower.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/imagery_1.kmz). Then use Google Earth to open the file or URL. Double-click on the yellow pin and Google Earth will fly you to the location with the same orientation as the U-2 image.

GRC-126

陳懷在1962年9月9日被擊落的前一天，楊世駒執行了一次代號為GRC-126的偵照任務。關於這次任務的描述，目前可以公開查到的，不外是來自過去兩岸出版的書籍和文章，所以都有一些共同的錯誤。前幾天在一個部落格上看到轉載一篇紀念陳懷的文章，其中也提到了GRC-126這次任務，還是有一樣的錯。既然美國方面已經把這次任務的檔案解密，我想在此說明清楚，以免日後積非成是。以下引用的部分是該部落格上的文字。 Read the rest of this entry »
