For the 68th guys
« on: February 09, 2011, 07:03:08 PM »
     Was doing a little surfing and found this nice shot of a 68th TFS F4E from the early 80s.  It was based at Moody
AFB in Valdosta, Ga while I was stationed there.

No.... I wonder what the real 68th has to do with the guy's in game.

I still like to read what the Juvats are doing in Korea, if you're going to live vicariously, you might as well go all the way.

Thanks Rino,

With the 68th de-activated, it is very difficult to find any of their historical pictures.  I contacted the history office there at Moody AFB and was told everything for the 68th had been boxed up.  Thanks for posting the pic!

As an American citizen and their boss, you should demand that they unbox...immediately!!!  :D
