Looks like you should have on a parka!  Yea, probably should have. That was taken when I was on my way to the desert during a stop for gas, and other than my flight jacket, the gortex was all I had! Not much need for a parka in the desert. Oh, and Patrick? Wrong again. Does anything I wrote above help? Yup, 87th at Keflavik, mid 70's |

How many of you out there worked on one of these? Started my career across the field in the 148th an Armament troop on the '89J. Re-trained to Spl Wpns and worked in the storage site with the 343rd guys. Spent a lot of time on your flightline during weapons deliveries and ORI's. When the 148th got the Deuce 4 of us ANG Spl Wpns guys ended up across the street from the Avionics bldg in the same compound as the 343rd Msl shop. Attachments:

success! I found this one while searching for something; thought it'd be interesting. It was titled "vortex flaps being fitted to F-106 NASA Langley SPL"  |

I need to find a page to put this on. I don't know if any of the current NASA pages I have are appropriate maybe I'll make a new one for NASA VORTEX FLAPS |

MOW I copied it from a 2X3 and that was only on about 1/3 of the picture. I know there is a better picture out there.

The Bear tail gunners and the 57FIS pilots often exchanged hand signals, but they weren't the backoff sort. Both were universally understood despite the different number of fingers involved.

While stationed at Tyndall in 1967-68 time frame our Test Sq folks came down and talked about installing cameras on six. They wanted 35 mm film cameras installed. So we worked with Convair/Hughes engineers and came up with a two camera setup in Radar compartment. One was looking straight out side and other with 90 degree outcrop for forward view. We rigged a panel in cockpit with a two way switch for left or front aspect (Two separate cameras) and an on/off switch. When on, we used one of stick switches for running film. Sheet metal/Fab branch fitted some clear glass holes in Radar door and we used empty slots in MA-1 rack to mount camera's. The camera looking forward had a extension molded on door and camera had 90 degree adaptor. It was a RubeGoldberg setup but it worked.
Found out later it was for Alaska birds to film encounters with Russian Bears. Saw a shot once of Russian crew "mooning" Six drivers.

Any pictures of the mod?
Actually I could see the B-model as an RF variant. Would have supplemented the SR-71 nicely. Could have carried a large sensor array in the bay.

Found this picture last night. It looks like a pair of 48FIS sixes escorting a c-141 in 1980 (reason unknown). Attachments:

Found this picture last night. It looks like a pair of 101st sixes escorting a c-141 in 1980 (reason unknown). Ah! A C-141A! Looks tiny compared to a "B"-model when I look at them now. Probably an airshow, or something of the like I'd wager. Do you happen to have a higher resolution photo you could forward to me? (Or post here?) GREAT shot!! |
