The worldwide Strategic Air Command exercise Gallant Shield 84 drew B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers from the 7th Bomb Wing at Carswell Air Force Base at Fort Worth, and from the 96th Bomb Wing at Abilene. Carswell spokesman Maj. Bob Lake said the exercise started April 3, and included the scramble to aircraft from Texas bases at dawn Sunday in a “simultaneous exercise posi tive control launch.” Lake said the exercise simu lated a warning of nuclear at tack on the United States, with crews practicing the carefully controlled moves toward a counterstrike. “The bomber and tanker force can be launched within minutes to ensure survival,” Lake said. He said the launch was timed with the Federal Aviation Ad ministration to ensure the eight-engine bombers would not interfere with commercial aviation. At the same time, private pi lots were warned to watch for huge, camouflaged high speed aircraft, Lake said. Ken’s Automotive -421 S.
