Well when we got to Seoul City, the weather was foggy and we couldn’t land. So we had to turn around and come back to Taegu which is 275 miles from Seoul. We landed at Taegu at 8:00 PM Korea Time and sat around until 11:30 PM before the Air Force decided what they were going to do with us. They finally decided to let us stay the night, but they didn’t have room for all of us. So half of us had to sleep in the Service Club on the furniture. (All the time it’s rainin’ cats and dogs and some GI came out of a tent and urinated right in front of us.) It wasn’t too bad though, because it was raining and we were fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads. (The dang roof leaked like a sieve).
We left Taegu at 1:00 PM Korea Time Friday morning and arrived at Seoul at 2:45 PM. We waited there in Seoul until 3:45 PM for transportation to Kimpo AFB which is about 15 miles north of Seoul. We arrived at Kimpo at 4:30 PM and bedded down in the transient tents. Saturday morning we left for Group Headquarters for assignments to our squadron. There is only one bad thing so far and that is Ed and I were split up. We both should have gone to the 67th Recon Tech. Sqdn, but he went there and I went to the 12th Tac. Recon. Sqdn (NP). He is right down the road from me and we are going to try to get together as much as possible. (Raining cats and dogs the whole time.)
