| Jeb Baird , TX | I was a tanker navigator at Beale from 1973-1977. It was a great assignment and i would be happy to hear from anybody who might have been part of the (ARS or 903ARS. 11/01/2008 @ 10:12 [ref: 22960] |
| Charlie Hanna Abilene, TX | I was stationed at Beale three times, 1962 to 68, then Nov 71 to Dec 72 and from Dec 1973 to Dec 1977.
I was the crew chief on 59-1490 also 1470 and 1510. Last September (2007) i flew to Pittsburgh, PA to visit with 59-1490 and it was a very rewarding experience. The people in the 171st ARW treated my like a VIP and not just a former crew chief. If anyone remembers me, my email is - charliechip1@suddenlink.net Would like to hear from you. 10/23/2008 @ 11:25 [ref: 22907] |
| Neal Pinkowski Renton, WA | Originally from Buffalo New York. KC-135Q crew chief of 59-1520. If I could relive those days again I'd do it in a heartbeat. The mind isn't stopping me but the health is. Now I have to settle with climbing aboard a 135 during the Fairchild Air Shows. Telling the Major or whoever is the pilot to "Go upfront and close the door, don't worry about what's going on back here". I know I'm spleeing this name wrong but if I could find a Major John Nasholtz I'd be pround to fly with him again. As with any. Fellow crew chiefs Marvin Bohrer and Steve Burns, after 37 years we still visit each other. If anyone reckonizes my name or would like to drop a line feel free to do so. Landing at Utapaho on a clear day was a sight to never forget. God bless each and everyone of you. 07/01/2008 @ 19:18 [ref: 21738] |
