My Boss in the 35th Fighter Squadron at Kunsan AB, ROK was Capt Mike Buck, now Retired LTC. He was new to the fighter world from being an instructor pilot at UPT and he was getting a second degree in Physics so he could get a slot in Test Pilot School at Edwards. I guess his first degree was in like, French or something non scientific.
Well, this guy liked space stuff, stories, airships, space ships, pretty much everything outer space oriented, so I figured he was really an Alien trying to get back to his mothership.
During one of our fighter sweeps, where the entire squadron hits the local town to party it up, drink some drinks from every bar in the dive town, then catch some STD they haven’t discovered a cure for yet…we had Capt Buck up on stage and the unit was throwing out names. So I started going around through the crowd telling people that we had to get him back to his spaceship soon because he was an Alien…and vola!
If anyone know’s Mike Buck, tell him to look me up.
