thanks jim...appreicate the info...it gave me a start to see it land...its be a while That was a D model and is owned by Collings Foundation and has the Holloman designator from the days of the 555th TFS............ Had there been 2 of them, they might have been part of the heritage flight of QFs from the 82 Aerial Target Sqdn from Holloman.. The 82nd use to be the 82nd PTS (pilot trng sqdn) at the old Williams AFB,AZ............... The Old Sarge |
