usaf70 Posted May 16, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2018 Couple questions concerning crew acronyms for the B-58 aircraft. What does the REW column refer to and what is the difference between "Individuas Navs " and those Navs listed in the columns on first pic? Thanks for the assistance.

MWalsh Posted May 16, 2018 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2018 In reading about the B-58, it appears that each crew of three pretty much stayed intact. I wonder if the individual title meant spare in that they were Navigators but not assigned to a specific crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted May 17, 2018 Share #3 Posted May 17, 2018 Any chance that was cut off and should say CREW? Id agree the Individuals are probably back ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted May 17, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2018 It should be crew number. All bomb and tanker crews in SAC were divided into crews and given a number. They tried to keep crews intact believing they worked better together with crew integrity. The letter denoted Select Crew in this case. Your individual navs were probably not yet assigned to a regular crew. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
