| ROBERT CARROLL STERLING, MA | I was stationed at SCAFB from 1960 - 1964. AFSC 43151C during that time I was assigned as crew chief on a number of different aircraft. Among those was 58297, this acft was the first on the base to reach 1000hrs flight time. In Jan 63 I was lucky enough to go for the 1000 hr flight with Lt. Col Culwell who was the 2nd FIS commander this the highpoint of my enlistment. Recently I met up with 2 others from that time, Jim Kaminski and Bert Poussard had a great time recalling our time there. 10/26/2012 @ 05:04 [ref: 67338] |

| 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] |
