  1. I remember them as well from my volunteer days at the museum in 2006. I hope to make it back there and look around and perhaps find the RF-101A nose section I was working on before I PCS'd to Florida.
  2. Bud Day was born on February 24, 1925, in Sioux City, Iowa. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on December 10, 1942, and spent 30 months in the South Pacific during World War II before receiving an honorable discharge on November 24, 1945. After the war, Day joined the U.S. Army Reserve on December 11, 1946, and served until December 10, 1949. He was appointed a 2d Lt in the Iowa Air National Guard on May 17, 1950, and went on active duty in the U.S. Air Force on March 15, 1951. Lt Day completed pilot training and was awarded his pilot wings at Webb AFB, Texas, in September 1952, and complet

A compassionate husband, a loving son, and a devoted brother; Luc leaves behind a family who loves him dearly and a legacy of achievement. We will never fully recover from our
  4. Victims of a plane crash The video in that link appears to possibly be the crash site of the B-24 and the funeral afterward. Note: the video does not have sound.
  5. When I had to do my AF qualify with the M9 Beretta before a deployment I was constantly reminded by the CATM team to have the red dot visible even in the holster. When I eventually had to do my Army qual for the same deployment safety was on until I was ready to fire. But back the OP I too find it funny that the USMC is going to this when the USAF has pretty much stopped doing so across the board (except perhaps at the Pentagon).
  6. A friend posted this on another forum. Here is the Phantom status briefing I received the day of QF-16 arrival: 1. Tyndall Phantoms are here for TWO more years and then GONE. 2. Holloman will continue with QF-4's for another TWO years beyond that and then they are GONE. 3. I specifically asked if the "pretty" F-4's," the painted ones, would be kept for Heritage flight support. I got a reluctant, "...no, not in the plans at this time." 4. I'll do the math for you: 4 more years of F-4's and then they are ALL GONE.
  7. The arrival of the new QF-16 drones arrived Monday, ultimately replacing the QF-4 Phantom. When you ask an experienced pilot to describe the QF-4 in three words, you might get this response. "I would say its the last of the iron jets," said Retired Lieutenant Colonel Matt Lacourse. "And that's four but, that's what I would call it." Lacourse hit a milestone in October, flying 2,000 hours in the F-4. But, the experienced pilot has also flown the F-16 Falcon. "The last time I fly one of these is going to be on the sad side," said Lacourse. "But, I'm looking forward to flying the F-16 again to
  8. That would certainly add a new twist and dimension to Combat Archer.
  9. While reading an article at Tyndall AFB's website about the new 53d WEG Commander Col. James Vogel, saw this written: Not sure what this means for the Heritage Flight QF-4s I think they might fly for one more season but not sure and due to my current location I'm a bit out of the loop about the goings on there.
  10. Google Earth will let you go back in time and in that location last Nov not much there in Dec of last year is when they added the black blob.
  11. Great builds and sounds like you all will have fun. I'll just continue to play over here in the sandbox 7600+ miles away.
  12. Nice picture Gary it would be interesting to read what the issue was.
