| Pledger A. Moon , KY | After tech school at Sheppard AFB I was assigned to the 465 FIS at Griffis AFB in the spring of 1956. Initially I was on the dock crew but "persuaded" the AF to transfer me to the flight line. I was made crew chief of a/c 649 which at the time was a \"D\". I was briefly crew chief of 548 but 850, a \"J\", was transferred into our squadron and I was the first crew chief on it. I was crew chief of 850 until I was discharged in Aug 1959. I always considered 850 as \"my\" bird. 01/14/2011 @ 08:46 [ref: 35648] |

My Uncle, Joe Long, flew F-89s at Ladd with the 449th (I think) In '59-'60. Does anyone remember him? 12/01/2010 @ 17:51 [ref: 33866] |
| Dale Bergstrom Lake Havasu City, AZ | I was a aircraft radio tech working the flight line at Ladd AFB from 1958 to 1960 in 5060th CAM. Spent many a night pre or post flighting the F89J at 40 below. We were only supposed to stay outside for 20 mins, but if you had a soldering job to do the 200 watt iron wouldn't even heat up in 20 mins. AN/ARC 27 was command radio. Loved it, easy to maintain and did it's job well. 11/05/2010 @ 14:16 [ref: 32998] |
| Jim McIntosh Murrieta, CA, CA | I was a Special Wpns tech supporting F-89J's and F-106's. Currently restoring the Pilots seat from F-89D/J 52-1905 looking for any history of the plane and parts for the seat project. 07/23/2010 @ 15:15 [ref: 28384] |
| Warren Parten , TX | I was 2nd Lt RO in the 449th from July 1958 to Apr 1960. Pulled a lot of alert at Galena and "Genie" alert at Elmendorf, in addition to home alert. Our Flight commander was Capt John Store; other flight members were Wayne Wranosky, Charles Dutton, Joe Ivins, Joe Abbott, Jim Shaw, and Ed Harris. When the squadron disbanned the ROs went to SAC tankers; some of the pilots were fortunate and stayed in ADC, others also went to SAC tankers. It was great flying up there with little restrictions on our flight area. Good memories of the people and ground personnel. 04/09/2010 @ 17:35 [ref: 26001] |
| Ira A. Majo Enon, OH | As a very young & new AC&W operator stationed in Iceland I was fascinated by the F-89. I'll never forget while watching them perform a "Bubble Chek" flying directly at the site. Myself & a friend watching him head directly at us while standing on the roof of a building. He was "very, very low", so low we would have been hit if had remained standing. We both flopped in time just a he flew over. The results - all the hair on the backs of head was singed off and we went four weeks without a haircut. 03/05/2010 @ 06:36 [ref: 25822] |
