Title: I never flew the "S" model.........
Post by: Toad on August 21, 2003, 11:26:37 PM

but here is a, so far as I know, a never before told tale by the folks that were there at the time.

Wanna know what Strat Recon was about? Here's a taste of ONE of the missions.

Salute to REG and the rest of those that flew out of Shemya (http://community-2.webtv.net/@HH!B2!E8!1FD8DDA69D60/KingdonAviation/RivetBallAmberShemya/)

Yeah, Wulf.. I knew you'd enjoy that.

Did you ever fly with Bob Brown? Jeez, he was simply a hoot. I knew him when he was an L/C and he tried so hard to be all grown up and officer/leaderlike. But the kid kept slipping out on him. :D

I didn't know him but you know.. a lot of the pilots were just
big kids during my tour.  The stress of the mission and intensity of it all had to have some outlet.
hell, I won gobs of dough from our pilot during uh...
official card games.. yeah.. :)

thanks for the memories bro!

had to do the V model too.. but the S was sexier
with the black wing and inboard nacelles.
I was on Corbra Ball.
