Join us next week on The Dog Tag Podcast from The St. Charles County Veterans Museum as we host in studio Lt. Colonel Steve Brown, Vietnam Veteran, Pilot. Steve served in the Air Force from 1968-1991, twenty-three years as a pilot. Steve had a very distinguished career in the Air Force. As a new pilot he paid his dues flying a Caribou in Vietnam. He graduated to B-52’s flying bombing missions during Operation Linebacker II. After negotiations for peace talks bogged down, President Nixon ordered the bombing of Hanoi. Operation Linebacker II was important because it forced the communists back into serious peace negotiations. From B-52’s Steve joined a very elite group of pilots flying the U2 reconnaissance plane. Armed with only a camera, Steve would fly over cold war hotspots shooting pictures. It's a story, you won't want to miss.
