| Jack G. Parris Clanton, Alabama | Went through B-29 training at Randolph A.F.B. in the early 50\'s. The last B-29 I saw was in front of the N.C.O. club at Kelly A.F. B. during a visit there during the Senior Olympics, can't remember the year. 11/22/2009 @ 18:16 [ref: 9172] |
| Donald J Luke , Arizona |  Returned from Southeast Asia in late 1969 and arrived at Randolph. Spent about 18 months working on VT29 and VC-131 base flight aircraft, mostly in the phase inspection hanger. Never got to fly in any of them. A handful of us used to come to work early each morning and head for the golf course to do a bit of fishing before starting work. Because the aircraft were used to fly VIPs and inspection teams, wes pent a lot of time with dual head air-driven buffers polishing the aircraft skin and props to a brilliant - first using Met-all metal polish, then using flour and rags to get the polish residue off the metal and finally a coat of Glass Wax to protect the shiny surface. Can't remember many names but a few come to mind - Pappy Sapp, Ollie Burkett, and Charley Bannister 12/18/2008 @ 12:47 [ref: 8569] |
| don San Antonio, Texas |  Randolph has a few nice aircraft on display. If you want to see a Great static displays go to Lackland just across town. they have at least 75 aircraft scattered around the base. including a B52D a B29 a P-38 Twin Mustang. even a SR-71 if you go to what was Kelly AFB there is a F-111 , F-106 and a B-58 no other displays in Texas are better hodag@yahoo.com 09/28/2004 @ 00:56 [ref: 3433] |
| Oscar J. Dorr Orlando, Florida | The AT-9 "Fledgling" was built by Curtiss, and had two R-680-9 engines. The AT-9A was equipped with two R-680-11 engines. Here is a site with photo and story. http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/modern_flight/mf15.htm 11/26/2002 @ 19:18 [ref: 2716] |
| MP Calleja , California | Hi, Would anyone out there have information on AT-9's?? All I know is that they were twin engine, advanced trainers, and some flew from Randolph Field in Texas. Thanks for your help! 09/30/2002 @ 13:02 [ref: 2518] |
