| Ken Carden & Ken Brown North Augusta, SC | We arrived at Otis in Sept.1968-Jan.1970 as part of the 60TH FIS. We were both Crew Chiefs. We are now retired and both live in S.C. We came from the 444TH FIS in Charleston,S.C. and was there from 1966-1968. Ken Carden attended the last reunion of 444TH in April,2010. We would enjoy hearing from anyone that was stationed at either Air Force Base. 10/21/2011 @ 15:59 [ref: 49657] |
| Gary Bennett , PA | I was stationed at Otis AFB Dec 1962 until March 1966. Worked on the F101B Voodoo as a Automatic Flight Control System Specialist (Auto Pilot) met many great people. Looking for contact information from anyone who may have been there around the same time. 10/05/2011 @ 05:20 [ref: 49380] |
| Jon Wesley Chapel, FL | The light was used to identify aircraft by flying behind and just below. This was a "safe area" when engaging an enemy aircraft. 01/28/2011 @ 13:35 [ref: 35891] |
| Richard Lyle Colorado Springs, CO | Can anyone tell me what the imbedded light on the port side of the fuselage below the aft canopy seat, was used for?
Thank you. 01/27/2011 @ 14:13 [ref: 35880] |

| Mike , MO | I worked on the F-101 at K. I. Sawyer 1959 - 1962. The thing I remember most clearly is the bitter cold, wind and snow. Moved there from O'Hare with the 62nd FIS. 01/02/2011 @ 05:41 [ref: 35132] |
| Richard A. Doritty Sunbury, OH | Current chairman of the 58th & 60th FIS reunion group. Served at Otis AFB fixing MG13 radar & weapons control systems. Great restored 101 at the Titusville Air Museum flying 60th colors.

| Jon Matthews Wesley Chapel, FL | Tom Basl,
Haven't heard from you since 2005 when you emailed me pictures of some of us at Lockbourne. I still have the email you sent them on. Was hoping to get copies of the originals so I could put them in my "USAF album". Hope all is good with you. Did you use to live in VA? Later, Jon 12/12/2010 @ 09:34 [ref: 34191] |
