Title: For the 68th guys
Post by: Rino 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.

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.

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!
