I was wondering if anyone out there might have photographs of the QF-80's that were at Holoman AFB during the period of 1962 through 1964?

Any photographs of the QF-80's from other locations would also be acceptable.

If you have any photographs and would like to share them please contact me at the above email address. I am willing to pay for any copies that are made.

Thank You
Roy
