: I was a firefighter stationed at Tulln AFB
: near Vienna in 1949-52. I remember a PanAm
: DC-4 overshot our runway and was stuck in
: the muddy terrain for some time. It was
: located in the Russian Zone of Austria and
: we had a hard time getting the aircraft back
: onto the base runway. If I'm not mistaken a
: USO troupe consisting of Roy Acuff, Minnie
: Pearl, Ernest Tubb and others from the Grand
: Old Opry were aboard. Does anyone remember
: this incident? I would like to correspond
: with anyone about this incident. It was at
: 21:30 hours on the night of 2 December 1949.
: Best regards. Pete Semanick Retired air
