I wonder if anybody has a Voyager chronology with such details as dates of all TCMs or precise times of closest approach to different moons of Jupiter back in 1979. What I've found of pre-Saturn TCMs is here:

Voyager 1

1977.09.05 Launch
1977.09.11 TCM-1
1977.09.13 TCM-1
1977.10.29 TCM-1A
1978.06? TCM-2?
1979.01.04 Jupiter Observatory Phase
1979.01.29? TCM-3
1979.02.21 TCM-4
1979.03.05 Jupiter Flyby
1979.04.09 TCM-5
...
1980.08.22 Saturn Observatory Phase
1980.10.10-11 TCM A8
1980.11.06 TCM A9
1980.11.12 Saturn Flyby

Voyager 2

1977.08.20 Launch
1977.10.11 TCM-1
1978.05.03 TCM-2
1979.04.24 Jupiter Observatory Phase
1979.06.27 TCM?
1979.07.09 Jupiter Flyby
1979.07.09 TCM?
1979.07.23 TCM?
1980? TCM B6?
1981.02.26 TCM B7
1981.06.05 Saturn Observatory Phase
1981.07.19 TCM B8
1981.08.18 TCM B9
1981.08.26 Saturn Flyby

I was able to found times of Jupiter flyby for Voyager 1 in UTC Earth Receive Time (some 17.7 minutes after the real event):

1979.03.05 12:42 Jupiter
1979.03.05 15:51 Io
1979.03.05 17:56 Europa
1979.03.06 02:53 Ganymede
1979.03.06 17:45 Callisto

I also have a precise spacecraft time for Io flyby, 15:13:21, and two versions of Jupiter flyby time, 12:05:26 or 12:04:36. I presume that one of this time is what was seen online and another is what was calculated post-flyby from all tracking points.
