| David Depung Grand Rapids, MI | I served at Holloman AFB in 1979 and 1980 and worked for Lt Col John Piowaty and TSGT Martinez and TSGT Maldonado in the offices and the hangars for the 434th. I gathered flight maintenance info and training data for the pilots training there with us. Both Sgt's Martinez and Maldonado were awesome guys and Lt Col Piowaty was one of the best commanders and pilots ever! His Vietnam missions are legendary! Those were the days! White Sands, SR71 emergency landing drills, Cold War readiness, President Reagan, etc. The T-38A Talons are an awesome training jet and the Thunderbirds practiced at Holloman for a weekend in their custom T38 Talons. That was the most amazing flying I have ever seen. Taking the T-38's to their absolute limits and we were able to witness it all! Greatest time ever! 06/09/2014 @ 19:59 [ref: 68506] |

| Stu Gay Altus AFB, OK | And yes I also a assigned at first in the 433rd AMU (green flight) which changed to the 416th AMU (Silver flight). 65-10341 was my tail number. I was at HAFB from 1980-1983. For a newly made crew chief in the USAF I feel what we accomplished in the 479th was important in the USAF mission. 03/22/2013 @ 09:21 [ref: 67672] |
