PM:Did you say you have the scope photos?
INT:Yeah, I do. Right here. We have some photos—that's all you guys.
PM:That's us. Yeah I sent that. That looks like a B-52 scope photo.
INT:There should be 13 in there. Those are probably the best copies we've got, right there. [This was before we were fortunate to locate the first generation radarscope photo prints preserved by Bill McNeff].
PM:Okay, see, I can't even tell the—hard to tell the time even.
INT:Yeah, I know. They're hard to read.
PM:But you can see we're outbound. There's the heading indicator right there, the track.
INT:Okay, that's the direction you're going—
PM:And we're headed northwest.
INT:Are these the TACAN numbers?
PM:No, that's the heading. Yeah. So we were headed. Yeah, they're degrees. This is 280. So you're headed northwest right here.
INT:Okay.
PM:I don't see anything there. There's the return right there.
INT:That's it? Right there?
PM:That's it. This would be the 5-mile, so that would be about 3.
INT:Oh, okay. That first ring is 5 miles?
PM:And you can see this is on the 280, 285, yeah. We're outbound. That could not be the inbound return. So this was on the way out.
INT:Okay.
PM:Now here I don't know, you'd have to analyze somehow this clock. I don't know what order these are in. I don't see anything here—the quality sucks. There it is again.
INT:Yeah.
