  1. Was there 59 to 63....774th TCS and School Squadron later.
  2. The stripes came off soon after arriving @ Sewart in 59...the red was 772nd red fox....blue was 773rd blue eagle....green was 774th green weasel....When we deployed to SEA with the B model we painted a large green weasel with a red lightening bolt. Over the top said JFK'S and under was "Big Stick"....they made us remove the jfk. On the wheel wells we had "Tennessee Volunteers". The B was a sweet airplane after we got the starter problem corrected.
  3. I have a VHS tape of the movie. The color is faded and the size is reduced, but just thankful for small favors. I was featured for about 10 seconds and some flight deck shots over my shoulder for take-off. We made the movie at Williams AFB in Arizona if memory serves. Got saluted many times during the week as most there had never seen an enlisted man in a flight suit. Had a good time with the tower as "lead" requested "speed brake check" on taxi-out; who knew about paratroop jump doors. Had to shoot early in the morning as the thermals were a beast. Usually flew in #3 and it was pretty "interesting" when moving to different formations. Some pretty good g loads on some of the zooms. Really would enjoy talking to any of the survivors if they are around. We are all getting pretty old. Had contact with Hatfield, but not for some years now. Think it was one of Chaney's kin that sold me a copy of the tape. Spent many hours and money trying to get a copy from Lockheed with no success. Could not even get a lucid response. Will try to attach a picture of nose art on deployment to PI.
