I was a crew chief on a F111A with the 430th Tac Fighter Squadron, 474th Tac Fighter Wing at Nellis AFB from December 1968 to June 1972. Great airplane and great memories. jimandrobie@hotmail.com this note in memory of Lt. Colonel William Coltman, kia Southeast Asia

I was stationed at Nellis from 1968-1973. I was a machinist in the 474 Field Maintence Squadron. I loved my time at Nellis.I also worked parttime building slot machines for Alstate Coin. I would love to return to the base someday. My 4 years at Nellis were the best years of my lfe.

I was a flight line maintenance officer with 57th FWW from 1974 until 1977. Col Robert Vayda was the DCM at that time. Loved working with the crews on the flight line. Also enjoyed the weekend fly-ins to Nellis AFB. There was always something going on. Duty hours extended when assigned to both transient maintenance and OMS at the same time. It was an exciting responsibility for a 22 year old.

I remember the first successful U.S. antigravity flight took place July 18, 1971 at S-4 (on Nellis Air Force base in Nevada), wherein light bending capabilities were also demonstrated to obtain total invisibilities. Present at this flight were notables such as Admiral (Bobbie Ray) Inman (former National Security Agency director), who is now head of SAIC (Science Applications International, Incorporated) in San Diego, CA, which makes the antigravity drives.Some of you guys do too.

I grew up in Las Vegas in the 60's, I remember the duck and cover drills we had in elementary school. Of course it would be right about that time an F-111 would decide to break the sound barrier and send everyone scattering for a desk! It's nice to see the F-111 again, I loved that plane growing up.

I was stationed at Nellis working on tactics for the F4D in 1966-67, when the first block 24MC and 25MC F4D's were assigned to the origninal 4520th Fighter Weapons Wing. We also had a few F4C Wild Weasels, F-105F Wild Weasel and F-100's as well flying the Fighter Weapons school courses and OT&E missions. I returned to Nellis in 1975-78, working for a contractor on the ACMI range, and participated in the ACEVAL/AIMVAL test program, where F4's often got the best of F-14's and F-15's, and a few Agressor F5's. I also remember the arrival of the F4D's when they rotated back from Europe, it was like old home week for me, and I will always love the sound of their screaming J79's and moaning BLC on approach.

Was stationed at Nellis from January of 1968 until August of 1971. Originally assigned to the 428th TFS Bucaneers, then re-assigned to the 429th TFS Black Falcons when the aircraft started arriving. We were the first group of TFS crew-chiefs to man the new F-111A arriving from General Dynamics. Had a great time, loved being on the flightline, and going downtown to Vegas. Great group of guys. Also pulled a 30 day TDY at Cannon AFB, New Mexico to train some of their crew-chiefs.
