aloft the world's most powerful airborne radar and was the most 
expensive single-type aircraft then flying in the USAF inventory. 
Colonel Reeves was a dual rated USAF Master Navigator and Electronic 
Warfare officer, having flown as a combat crewmember on the B-58 in 
addition to the RE. Dick had a far reaching effect on everyone and a 
profound presence in his family life and military life. He will be
