| chris keena irvine, California |  I had the honor of serving in the 100th Strat Recon Wing as an enlisted man. I was part of then Secretary of Defense early out program and was discharged from DMAFB in January of 1969. I am trying to trace the what happened to that great organization after I left! Apparently, the Wing was redeployed. I am trying to get my grandkids T-shirts with the 100th Strat Wing on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris Keena 09/04/2009 @ 10:37 [ref: 8852] |
| Bill Mosby Salt Lake City, Utah | I was with the 100th SRW at Davis Monthan in the early 70s. Anyone who has not witnessed a U-2 takeoff would be amazed at the climb rate of those aircraft! I also had occasion to go to the military museum in Ekaterinburg, Russia in 2004 and 2005, where approximately 1 sq ft of Gary Powers' U-2 is still on display. According to a map in the collection there, he was shot down while in the vicinity of an enrichment plant I worked at in the closed city of Novouralsk (formerly Sverdlovsk-44). The U.S. gets about 10 percent of its electricity from reactors fueled with ex-Soviet nuclear weapon material; the program I worked for monitors the blending down of this material for use in our nuclear fuel production system. 02/02/2009 @ 16:36 [ref: 8651] |
| Carl Bourdon , Minnesota | I just uploaded my two photos I have of the CH-3 12799. I was stationed at Albrook AFB Canal Zone '67-'69 and was lucky enough to be invited along for check ride on 12798. The entire time I was at Albrook I never saw 12799 fly. It was always redlined for parts missing. 12798 always had immediate spares. Now that 12799 is Davis-Monthan I plan on taking up fond memories of the one ride on I had on an Air Force aircraft. In February 1969 I was given orders to my next assignment to be Davis-Monthan. President Nixon decided differently and sent me home in his first troop reductions after being elected. Spring 2009 will be forty years later to visit Davis-Monthan. 11/04/2008 @ 16:59 [ref: 8502] |

| Terry S Wills MIDDLETOWN, Ohio |  For Frank Boulton post- I was at Davis-Monthan in 1968-1969. I was in POL refueling also. I also wish I had a nickle for every gallon of JP-4 I put on an F-4. I went to Vietnam after Davis-Monthan in Sept 69 to Sept 70.( Ton Son Nhut-Saigon) Refueled aircraft over in Nam also. At D-M, do you remember a guy named Jack Tarr? Friend of mine who hung out with me at the Cedars on Speedway. D-M was good duty. Went to live in Vail AZ, not far from D-M in 2004. Stayed from July, 2004 to March- 2005 and came back to Ohio. No good paying jobs in Tucson, just service-oriented low paying. Had to come back to make any money.Good times in Tucson. 07/18/2007 @ 10:36 [ref: 6110] |
| Bob Maddern Tucson, Arizona | Reference the enquiry by Katie Schiller (ref 3526), the company where I work salvages ex-boneyard aircraft. We have worked with Moto Art in supplying parts and materials to them. If she could contact me at the above e-mail address I can send her some photos to show what we have available. We have 707, C-130, A-7, OV-1, C-119, HH-3, T-33, HUP-2 and assorted parts from other aircraft. We would be happy to deal with her. 05/02/2007 @ 17:14 [ref: 5891] |

| Bob Shepard Westminster, Colorado | I am writing to ask for your help. A Cold War/Peace museum has been proposed for a long vacant S.A.G.E. (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) direction center located on the grounds of Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, NY (formerly Stewart Air Force Base). Apparently, the British owned company that is currently operating the Airport has relaeased a new "Master Plan" that includes demolition of the S.A.G.E. building. How can you help? Just click on the link that I have included with this message and tell them what you think. The link is to the proposed museums' website. Thank you in advance for any and all encouragement, suggestions or support! http://www.coldwarpeacemuseum.org/home.html Best Personal Regards, Bob Shepard 02/05/2006 @ 16:59 [ref: 4772] |
