It looks as if this poor fellow took a wrong turn and unfortunately parachuted into someone's office. In fact, it's Associated Press journalist Peter Arnett, going through HANG's orientation on F -4 Phantom escape procedures. Arnett was in Honolulu as part of a series of news stories he plans to write on the National Guard. While in the islands, Arnett had an opportunity to fly in a Phantom, tour HANG facilities and talk to Guard members. Arnett was a Vietnam war correspondent and won Pulitzer prizes for his work.

In perhaps its most unusual assignment, the Hawaii Air National Guard recently went to the aid of the Honolulu Zoo's ailing hippopotamus. The zoo's eight-year old hippo hadn't been feeling too well lately. She'd lost 150 pounds in the past year, 50 in the last two months, and wasn't quite up to her usual activities, like basking in the Hawaiian sun, rolling in the mud, and swimming in her hippo pool.

Zoo veterinarian, Dr. Calvin Lum (kneeling at right), guessed that the 1500-pound hippo may have swallowed a metallic object, such as a wire used to wrap bales of hay, which might have punctured her stomach or small intestine. The resulting infection or blockage would be a possible cause of her weight loss.

Is this how recruiter Rich Anguay (in black) finds new recruits for the Hawaii Army National Guard? Rich certainly hopes so. Anguay is a black belt karate instructor who has been using his skills to aid in his recruiting efforts at Aiea High School. This exhibition for an appreciative audience of 400 featured Anguay against a dozen of his friends and pupils. He teaches karate at Aiea High, using the opportunity to establish a rapport with the students. Once the personal relationships are developed, Anguay has an easier time convincing students of the benefits of Army Guard membership

Transforming the normally scruffy ironwood trees into objectives of beauty reflects the pride of the radio shop in all their endeavors.

Has Maj. Gen. Valentine A. Siefermann traded in his familiar black Chevrolet for a red Ferrari? Has the Department of Defense been transformed into the city morgue?

At right, series star Tom Selleck chats with co-star John Hillerman (back to camera). Magnum P. I. also used a Hawaii Army National Guard Cobra helicopter for an episode.
