NCM AFHQ JAa.. 0-309C UHCWSIFIED Contact was made with the 93rd BW, Castle AFB, Calif. re~ garding aircraft particip~ting in the refueling track Ocean Tlde (Bravo), AR-SB. Two KC-135 's \rere on the track between 0235 and 0325. These aircraft would have been traveling toward the north and after passing the Eugene Vortac would made a left 10 degrees angle bnk turn so that the air- craft would have been in position to fly south on another r~fueling track. These aircraft would have been passing near the to\m of Corvallis, at or about the time of the sightings. The town of Corvallis, Oregon is at 44 3 / 123 17w. The Eugene Vortac is at 44 O?N/123 l)w. Contact was made with Maj. Shifflit, Adair AFS, Oregon. Shifflit contacted the ~est Coast Airlines but th~y did not have any aircraft in the ~rea. He did not con- tact the FAA. The weather bureau reported a ceiling of 6000 feet and overcast, but there \;as no indication of how thick the cloud cover w~s at the time of the sighting. }fajor Shifflit will check with the FAA and call back with addition~l information. }~jor Shifflit called back to say that he had checked with th~ FAA. Th~re \las only one aircraft on record; this being an aircra.ft inbound from the south that landed at Eugene, iajor Shifflit said that there are numerous small aircraft that fly in the area without IFR instructions. After being told of the KC-135's in the area he said that he did- n't believe that these aircraft were seen bec~use of the cloud cover. He said that if appears that a. small aircraft was observed which was flying on a \TFR flight plan. It should be noted th3t t"flO of the observe~s said that the clouds were either broken o~ thinly overcast. If t~e clouds w e broken at all during th~ obsertation the two KC-135 aircraft could have been seen UNCLASSIFIED DIPAITMINf OF THI All FOia STAff MISSAGI BIAHOt INCOMING MESSAGE ACTIO~i: RDC-4 ADV COPY DIA Page 1 of 4 PTTU JAW RUWMBDA4912 3262200~UUUU--RUEOHQA. fM 26 AIR 0 IV ADAIR AFS OREG TO RUWMFV A/ AD C RUEDFIA/AIR TECH INTEL CENTER WR IGHTPATTERSO N AFB OHIO RUEDHQA/HQ USAF WASHit\GTON DC RUEOHQAISECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE VIASHINGTON DC FOR AFRDC -HQ USAF: SAFO I -SEffiET ARY OF THE AIR fORCE.
