| Jack Riley , WA | I was a radio repairman at MacDill in Tampa back in 62 at the height of the Cuban Crisis and MacDill was in the process of changing from SAC to TAC. We were supposed to be the first in the AF with the F4C but they were late. Consequently they saw fit to recall a couple of squadrons of 84s from the Guard. Someone was in the cockpit of one of them checking the electrical when due to some cross wiring attributed to the Guard one or more rockets were fired. One of them took the back pocket off an AP and continued on to take out the nose gear of a KC97 which exploded and took out several other 84s. 02/19/2007 @ 21:22 [ref: 15594] |
| SrA MAtthew J Eisele Little Rock AFB, AR | My grandfather Lt. Edward D. Eisele was stationed at the 53rd fighter bomber squadron at Furstenfulbruck in Germany in the late 1940's and early 1950's. He flew the F-84E Thunderjet there. On a day there were training , he had engine trouble and the instinct thing to do was to drop the tip-tamks , however there were people below, and to save lives he tried to land the jet, he landed in a field of snow several feet deep. The front was all smashed up, but he landed it. He later served in the FAA retiring as Deputy Cheif of general Avation in washington Dc, GS-16. I am proud of his accomplishments, and am interested in hearsing from anyone who knew or served with him. 06/24/2006 @ 13:37 [ref: 13589] |
| Robert (radar) De Cosentine , CA | The 84 that is in your museum is painted in the 196th FBS colors. The 196th was a Californiaa ANG Sqdn assigned to the 116th FBW. The 158th colors in Korea were RED> And the Sqdn emblem was a circle and within that circle was a hound dog baing at the moon. The colors were : black background, dark blue sky,dark brown dog facing head up at a 45 deg angle and a bright yellow moon. Oh by the by, I also have the record of loosing more 84's to accidents, total 6...... 08/02/2002 @ 13:23 [ref: 5413] |
| Robert De Cosentine (Radar) , CA | I was regular AF and was assigned to the 158th FBW at Misawa AFB in '51. My job was weapons mechanic. I wish I could remember the names of the ANG people but it has been a long time. I do rememder that the 1st Sgt was a cab driver and the CO had a position in a bank. Other things that I remember: The Stars and Bars was flown after each mission at Misawa untill A3C Fee (reg AF from NY) took the flag down and burned it. He was caught by the ANG and was buried in the snow; The day that a 50 cal went off while in the hanger during maintenance; I got my nick name RADAR because I was tall and kept hitting my head on the under side of the wing. I have a lot more memories, I'll tell them another time. 08/02/2002 @ 12:57 [ref: 5410] |
| EldonBader , WI | I was a regular S/Sgt with the 158th (Savannah GA National Guard) at Misawa< Japan during the Korean war. I had a flight on the flight line and later a hangar inspection crew. We were there July 51 to Dec 53. The F-84E was used at this time as the first fighter bomber to fly combat involving in flight refueling.
This was accomplished by using the tip tanks with probes on them. Each had to be stuck into the funnel of the refueling aircraft to obtain jet fuel. The 159th from FL and the 196th from CA were also there. 01/17/2001 @ 03:02 [ref: 1399] |
| Roy Glenn Howe Aransas Pass, TX | I was crew cheif on F-84E SN 48-790 at Pinecastle AFB in 1952-53.Often wondered what ever became of that airplane.I was told it was probably transferred to Air National Guard in Arizona.One day a pilot told me he would give me a flyby to show what it would do & boy did he! Told me later he had it on the red line at 620.Brings back fond memories.They had problems with getting sea gulls in the intake & I was small enough to crawl in the intake and clean out the guts & feathers then I would get the rest of the day off!We tried putting a screen over the intake but it made the tailpipe temp. run too high.When I left Pinecastle they were shipping the '84s out & bringing in B-47's. 09/08/2000 @ 22:50 [ref: 714] |
