I stumbled across this and found it fascinating reading. Apologies if this has been posted here before.

I flew Rivet Joint and Combat Sent. I knew a few guys who flew the 'Ball'. I boarded the S model once when it was at Offut AFB to tour it with a buddy who was flying it.

That is a good one! I know a bunch of guys that worked for the 6th strat wing. I have nerver been to the Rock. This stuff is still going on. The guy did a good job on his web sight!

Great site, PIX and patches. TKS
I like the first one, looks like maybe their acknowledgement of their beginnings in various small highwings?

The rock has always been an interesting place. As last I had heard was still host to RC crews. Coming in there in a cross wind is a blast and scary all at the same time. We did it once with a 40kt direct crosswind, the crab angle was so severe the AC had to ask the co-pilot to duck so he could see the runway.
