Retired Lt. Col. Robert L. Brown became an electronic warfare officer when the demand for the career field increased. One of his most memorable missions during the Cold War was when he moved back to Eielson, Alaska. One evening, his team discovered that a Russian bomber was nearby. The pilot got permission from home station to follow the Russians, and Brown’s team trailed them to record their actions. Their cover was blown when Soviet ground control cleared the sixth aircraft – the aircraft Brown was in – to land, and the Russian aircraft commander said that they only had five planes. They decided to break away and flew back to Eielson with vital information that garnered Brown and his team the Distinguished Flying Cross.
