Randy Chang - Spirit of 76 - Lt Col (Ret) C-130 and Gulfstream pilot with interesting satellite package recovery story and VIP close encounter tale

Randy is from Hawaii originally which helped greatly in his USAFA experience. Upon graduation he was initially a MAC pilot flying C-130's in Little Rock and Yokota. After his first assignments he got a very interesting job flying as a test pilot at Hickam recovering falling satellite packages with an unusual method he describes. His success with the GAMBIT project led him to Andrews where he flew VIPs in the C-20. Here he also has a hair-raising close call which earned him an Air Medal personally from Sec Def. Air Attache in Thailand followed by return to Andrews ended his active duty time. Upon retirement he became a corp pilot for JC Penny and others. Some of the later recording gets choppy, (thanks cell sites!), but I believe you will enjoy the full story of Randy Chang.
