Comments: After a tour in Thailand, I choose an assignment to Okinawa. I spent three and a half years with my family in the 51st FIW 1968 to 1971. In 1974 my orders read Osan AB Korea to my surprise I was back in the 51st once again as a Fire Protection Specialist (Crash Fire Rescue) which I loved. I`m a member of the 51st association.

Comments: Machinist. Dad said they did a lot of field work for improvements and to keep Sabrejets airborne. Francis Gabreski was commander. I can't spell the airbase's.
Su Wan? Suicki? A couple of field's mentioned. Time in Japan and S. Korea. 1950-53? Have photo of "Rice Paddy Daddy" and a couple of old C-47's, think one had a painting of "Elmer Fudd" on the nose. I forget.
Might have been a P-61 along with ROK P-51's. A-26's also. Any ideas?
