Hoping they get here soon. I'll fly mine without until they do, if necessary.
I was in Munitions Maintenance, bomb dump, in the USAF '69-'73, TAC, delivering to the F-4s at George AFB, an F-4 training base, and at Kadena AFB, Okinawa, where we had F-4s, F-105s, SR-71s, (5) based there, and even an occasional B-52 group TDY, plus a lot of others passing through. C-141s and C-5s were dailys. All munitions used in Vietnam came through Kadena, as we were the PACAF supply depot. So got to see and be around a lot of stuff during the Vietnam period.
I will be doing mine either as the bird 1st Lt Wilbur J. (Joe) Latham, Jr. was AC commander (pilot) in when he downed a MiG-21 on Nov. 05, 1966, or as the F-4C, 63-7507, which is on display in Marshalltown, Iowa, which is an aircraft he also flew a few times. I am in the process of getting info from him, soon as I can get time from work to visit him. He lives in Marshalltown, which is where my R/C club is. Will post pics when I get some. 63-7505 was assigned to George AFB while I was in Okinawa, and had moved on before I returned, so I never saw it there.
