| Patrick Dillon , NY | I was stationed at Suffolk Co. AFB during 67' 68. Nice base. Easy duty. I was a weapons 46250 crew chief. I served the MMS under Captain Bauer.
I have a few friends that I remember their names. Dennis Palumbo, John Lilly, John Cunningham, and Ed Slocke. I remember numerous faces without names. I am looking for a photo of the 101 on a static display for a base open house in 68'. I was a crew chief explaning the weapons system and stores for a group of ROTC guys. I found the picture of them and me one time and I'm looking for it again. I have a lot of fond memories of this base. The other aircraft I was on was the 104 Starfighter out of George AFB in Calif. I went to Udorn Tialand on that one in 66' and part of 67". What one is my favorite jet. One of my planes that I photographed over there is now in a Colorado Air Museum. Same number....914. 03/04/2011 @ 14:45 [ref: 36537] |

| Tony Plonski East Granby, CT | Richard,
Who could ever forget the likes of Col. Francis Gabreski or places like "The Barge" or "The Bridle Path", or even "Doc's" bar and restaurant in Riverhead? What a great duty station, especially West Hampton Beach in the summer time. I was in the flight control shop from 1966 - 1967 when I got shipped to Tan Son Nhut.
