Col.
Regina Aune of Kirtland Air Force Base spoke about Operation Babylift on Monday
in the J. Robert Oppenheimer Study Center as part of the Laboratory's observance
of Women's History Month. The presentation was sponsored by the Women's Diversity
Working Group and the Diversity (DVO) Office. Operation Babylift centered around
the April 4, 1975 airlifts of civilians, including a number of orphans, out
of Saigon. The plane crashed about 20 minutes after takeoff; Aune was injured
in the crash. Aune was a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force at the time. Later
that year she received a Cheney Award for performing an act of valor for her
efforts. Aune is now a commander of the 377th Medical Group at Kirtland Air
Force Base in Albuquerque. She has served in the Air Force since 1973. Aune
and a contingent of officers from KAFB later toured several Laboratory facilities.
