Looking for Information on 1st Lt. Alexander Sotiroff: Killed in crash at K18 Kangnung 1955

Comments: Hello. Would be interested in hearing from someone who may have known my Uncle Alex, or witnessed his accident during a high speed buzzing (antenna check) at k-18. His wing tip dragged the ground and he bounced off the ground before climbing. He ejected clean, but his chute was just a streamer. Not enough altitude to blossom. Killed instantly. I've obtained an accident report, but it would fill a void to talk to someone who might know more. Thanks, Michael.

Looking for more info on 310th FBS 1958

Comments: I'm on a team that is building/flying a competition model of the F-86 named "Bee Gee's Bird". It's true turbine powered and fully functional with retractable gear, opening canopy, speed brakes, etc. Not a kids toy, but an adults hobby, ha ha.

We're looking for more information on this aircraft and its pilot/crew people. Its in a Squadron/Signal book (F-86 in Action - Walk Around) pg 64. We're unable to read the pilots full name or see the other side of the aircraft.

Any info would be appreciated, and to see the model, visit www.bvmjets.com - look under Event Photo's and click on Top Gun '05 (April 27-May 5th). We'll have coverage posted.

Comments: I still get together with old squadron and 58th group mates at reunions of the 58th FBG held annually. For more information contact me any time.

Keywords: I was a Pilot in the 310th under Maj. MacCurdy at lovely K-2. AC 363 was assigned to me and I named it "No Help Wanted" and had a 5'2" redhead in a Bikini painted on the side. I'm looking at a great model complete in every detail of old 363 as it sits on my desk now.

Some of you guy may have know my Grandfather.

Comments: Some of you 310th FBS 58th FG guys may remeber my Grandfather, O'Neal Chambers, he was there with the squadron in Korea. He was one of the F-86 Mechanics. He's doing fine these days just taking it easy. He's geting up in his years but he's doing well. Just thought i'd post this for him since he dosn't use computers. lol :-) For what it's worth i have the Topper patch from his jacket framed here on the wall with a picture of him in the snow by the F-86's. Man those must have been some really cold winters for you guys. Thanks you for doing everything that you did for our freedom. Reading up on the history of the 310th back even into WWII in the old P-47D's....it's my opinion that the 310th is the best damn squadron to have ever taken flight. They never seem to get the credit or recogntion they so rightly deserve.
