William Kelly Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Also archived at: JFKcountercoup: Andrews AFB Log 11/22/63 Further reflections. It's kind of hard to believe that they would make a special hard copy "operations log" for the events of 11/22/63 and then use the same log when RFK is killed five years later. What is it, the Kennedy assassinations log they only use when a Kennedy is killed? And the guy who found it, I tracked him down and he was still working at Andrews but he never answered his phone, though I hope somebody gets to him and finds out the whole story of where this log came from and why it was discarded into a dumpster.

BK It would be interesting to determine if the times of this log are correct and line it up with the extant AF1 radio transmissions. And I'd like to get a make on Col. Hornbuckle and Col. Burleson, who were lining up sudden missions left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
