All most as good as the FAA doing flight checks....at a airport...............

Test group in Hawaii had P's and used as refuels for the H-53.

I hope things work out. Having your name on ( blanket tdy orders ) may not show he was TDY. He is going to back it up. Pay roll record or travel voucher. He can get photos copy of Pay records from Air Force. Ask for records the time of showing on Blanket orders.

E-Flight move from Naha, Okinawa in 1971, when the base closed for us Air Force people. And now for E-Flight........Not to be a smart john , i'll let one of the other members info you. Did anyone know a msgt Frize, when change over to OMS he was the A flight boss of E-Flight & Blind Bat.

Well, I'm starting to feel like a dummy, but I have never heard of a Class 6! Maybe I knew what it was by a different name!! You know after going to CRB for part of every year (67, 68, 69, & 70) on TDY's or on inputs , I only knew several places that were always in the same place. The flight line, the ALCE building where we signed in when we got there on inputs, the terminal, and after 1967, Herky Hill! In 67, I stayed on the main base in a quonset hut. Herky Hill might have been there but I didn't know it!! Every time I went to CRB in those 4 years there was something new that wasn't there the last time I was there. I think that was especially true with the bunkers! They seemed to be everywhere you looked except the one I remember out towards the end of the taxi way was the only one I knew about on the flight-line. I also saw no revetments in 67 (Dec), and where we parked we just parked nose to nose with other A-models from Naha and Tachi. Possibly some B-models from the PI also!!

I think I was there, (???)

Ken

I walk off the aircraft in CRB and there on base was three friends from New york i knew growing up...........small world..........thats y i knew about the store and a few other places..........

Should have said, liqour store for us Air Force people.............To many years in hawaii.

If it was next to the class six store, that may be why no one recognizes it. Trying to keep eyes focused on the class six door handle.

I hope everyone knew there was a class 6.

Look's like the other side of the base, next to the class six....

And if you work on 501D-13, And that would show 13,820 on RPM Ind. Same calibration Cal a Cal B.

Bob, I'm trying to remember you. I was in the 36th from around Sep 74 to around Aug 75, even ended up in 37th, or 38th for a short period of time. I was there when they started moving the 36th TAS to McCord. Anyone ever hear from Bob Grindrod, Wilber Nelson? HB Marsh was my boss in the 36th. I had a friend, Charlie Scheffler, a Crew Chief on Herks. I went to KDOV on C-5's after Langley.

I knew a Ssgt s Scheffer, his wife was also a Crew chief i think the A/c was 7880 . i was one of the last to leave Nov 1976 went to hawaii.

How about the Lox cart vent cap. Does anyone remember the location, i would check each preflight to see if the cap was on. But i never seen a lox cart on the plane in the many years i work them..........

Would you know where Tom Waryha be? Tom was @ McGuire N.J in Nov 1980 along with Four Naha Troops. Tom was PCS .

What year did E-Flight move to CCK, I pcs in Mar 71 E-Flight was still on okinawa @ that time.

Did crew 63-7783 at langley 73-76. One of last birds to leave Nov 76.

I went to tech school for C 130. My first two years was on KC 135 / B52 @ Blytheville AK. Land of the lost people........I been trying to post my photo of the class, Apr 1966. It will not up load.

In the U.S. Air force, you was run qualified only. Never taxi qualified but if you jump chocks, you would know what to do and that was about the most taxing you would get..........LOL And maybe your last RUN......... And if you was taxi qualified, it must have been before March 1, 1966.

I work Convairs 580 with 501-13 engine had the oil cooler augmentation. The aircraft was build in 1957 for the Air Force. To this day

still flying for the FAA.... The system work great.

In 1966 we had 505 with a tie. Later went to 1505. The 1505 was thinner.....

There are a few Blind Bat troops from Naha, i was in 21, 41, then 374 OMS. Hello to you.........

I would like to know, when is the 316th Reunion. I was one of the last to leave Nov 1976..

I crew 56-476 yes it's a 56 model from Naha. I have photo's of the aircraft along with A/c 483, 0048, 533, 469 Blind Bat.
