Does anyone know the back story on "TF Blue Goose"?
TF Blue Goose
- Thread starter Polar Bear
- Start date
Never heard of a "Task Force Blue Goose," but there was a PBY named Blue Goose used for a daylight torpedo raid during the fight for Guadalcanal. The was a much better writeup on the Air University page, but that apparently got put behind a .mil firewall. I can post a copy here, but I ain't sure that's what you're asking about.
Edit: Found a better source here.

It's OK, I believe the CIA declassified Blue Goose.
Or was that the other unit, TF Grey Goose? I always get those two mixed up. :-/

I guess you were too subtle? :-/
It has to do with Operation Blue Falcon doesn't it?
TF Duck Duck came first.
I was attached to TF BG for quite a while. We were under TF BRINDLE (it was a combined op). Cant say what I did or who I worked with or where. Except that I did and with some people and in SE Asia.
Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

and your call sign was "Mother Goose", right? Oh, Hell did that break OPSEC, or was that just a fairy tale?
You sir should promise never to bring that debacle up again, ok? Next, we will be talking about the harlem shake poop video...
