Eleven years after the Homestead AFB road show, Maj Gen Eugene Fischer, commander of the Air Force Tactical Fighter Weapons Center at Nellis AFB, Nevada, assembled all of the 64th and 65th AGRS pilots, berating them for the unprofessional behavior of a number of the flyers.
For AGRS surveying, the line spacing depends on the objectives of the survey: in reconnaissance surveys it may vary between 2000 and 5000 m; in regional surveys it may vary between 500 and 2000 m; and in detailed surveys flown for mineral exploration purposes, flight line spacing can be as little as 100 or 200 m.
The teams usually consisted of a military policeman, an enlisted man from the AGRS, and a Chinese interpreter.
