Andrew Dublin, Ireland, |  I, along with 5 others whilst en-route to St. Louis diverted in to the airfield recently with the hope of getting some photos of the 3 exhibits. Our names were taken, passports shown but unfortunately permission was denied to photograph the aircraft. Maybe if we had sought permission by prior arrangement we could have got the shots. Anyway, if I'm in the area again I will try again! Great to see the aircraft anyway. 05/20/2008 @ 09:11 [ref: 7802] |
Randi Brown Terre Haute, Indiana |  I am the Historical Custodian for the display aircraft at the 181st Fighter Wing, Soon to become the 181st Intelligence Wing on 1 Apr 08.
I wanted to let everyone know that the F84 was been given some much deserved T.L.C. It now belongs the American Legion Post 40, on Ft Harrison. It was re-dedicated in May.
Also, the F4 and F84 on base were repainted this past year as well. Hopefully the F100 will follow soon.
We have also requested an F16 to add to our Historical Collection.
Plus, an Observation Helicopter that was linked to the original 113th Observation Squadron will be finding a home with us soon. It is currenlty on display at the Indiana War Memorial downtown.
If you have any other questions, or concerns feel free to email me.

Jay Roeschlein Terre Haute, Indiana |  I believe the F-4C (on static display at HUF) was also utilized as a Wild Weasel during the Vietnam war. This was before the Air Force introduced the F-4G Wild Weasel. 11/28/2007 @ 18:27 [ref: 6541] |
Mike Snodgrass Terre Haute, Indiana |  I am a former member of the 181st Fighter Wing, I was a Traditional Guardsman from 1984-2003 and worked in V.I.(Graphics). I actually have some photos from the old "airshows" at Hulman Field. I will see about scanning some of them for everyone.... 11/28/2007 @ 15:08 [ref: 6538] |
Larry Austin Waddy, Kentucky |  I was a member of the 181st from 1963 to 1981. I served as an aircraft mechanic on the Flight Line. I have fond memories of the F 84's, T 33's, F 100's and F 4's and all of the members of the 181st. It makes me sad to see the condition of the F 84 that once sat on the Court House lawn. But I am proud to have been a member of the 181st. 11/11/2005 @ 23:20 [ref: 4581] |
James Wingtae , Virginia |  I worked the F4E at Moody AFB, Homestead AFB, and
a crewcheif on tail number 67-738 F-4D at Torrejon AB. Great experiance, gained a lot of mechanical knowledge. Talked to a lot of local pilots in my area where I live now and they still fly air training missions vs. the Phantoms in foriegn countrys. The younger generation pilots that fly against them are still appauled by its performance. A true legend, hate to see them go!

Bobby Norton Washington, Indiana |  I did four years with the 181st working flight line on the F-16's from 1993 to 1997. Prior, I was active duty at Eglin AFB working with the F-15's of the 33rd TFW, from 1985 to 1989. I had a really great time during my enlistment at both places and met alot of great people. I miss them all. It's true that the Air Force is a great way of life. 04/27/2004 @ 20:10 [ref: 3107] |
Bill Wheat Terre Haute, Indiana |  The F-84F that sat for years out side the Vigo
County court house was given to the American Legion
a few years ago. It now sits in the parking lot of
the American Legion post on north 3rd street in Terre
Haute. I believe they plan some day to mount the
plane on a pedestal. It is a shame that somebody
doesn't buy and restore the plane to flying
condition. 11/06/2002 @ 14:11 [ref: 2643] |
