Goldie, did you say Wing Attack, plan R?

[Nan and Sandy Sanders]

  Back in the day, as a new airman fresh out of computer school and 
new to the direction center, I was given a tour of the console room. 
The NCO giving the tour pointed to a box on the side of the Sr 
Directors console with a key switch and told that the switch was the 
result of a phone call on a very quite day with nothing going on from 
a missile site wanting to know why the missile bay doors had opened 
and the missile was going through its launch sequence. The computer 
had decided it did not like some random airliner flying through its 
air space and was going to shoot it down. The keyswitch put a human 
in the path of the lunch command.
  I can readily believe the Okinawa incident happened and it probably 
was not the only one like it.
