The listing needs to include Copilot Lieutenant Sterling Davis Hays, without whom the aircraft would've been completely uncontrollable. It required both pilot and copilot to have the hands on the yoke, and both feet on the rudders, in order to keep the aircraft aloft. Lieutenant Hays went on to become deputy commander of the 89th wing of the United States Air Force, and was charged with the responsibility of flying American dignitaries and foreign diplomats, such as Spiro Agnew, Henry Kissinger, and others. Lieutenant Colonel Hays was a member of President Nixon's entourage during his missions to both Moscow and Beijing.
