Comments: I am the curator for the Lackland Museum Program in San Antonio, TX. We are in search of a point of contact with any member of the 6147th TACS that was stationed in Taegu AB Korea between Aug-Sept 1950. Our research centers around an T-6D Mosquito(serial number 42-86011) that we hope someone might have images or information on "why it was dropped from service on Sept 1950"?

Comments: Does anyone have any info on 1st Lt. Kenneth Colby from Chelsea, Vermont? Service #0-774948. He flew T-6's in Korea and I assume he was in the 6147th. He was in Korea from about October of 1951 until May or June of 1952. He was my Dad and we are trying to get info for a special service this Memorial Day and can get lots of info from the gov't about his WW2 service but nothing about Korea. He broke his wrist and was in a hospital in Japan for a short time also.

Comments: My father, First Lieutenant Frederick W. Hanlin, was a member of the 6147th Tactical Control Squadron, US Air Force, during the Korean War. He was killed when the C-54 Skymaster in which he was a passenger crashed three miles from Itami Air Force Base, Japan, on September 6, 1950.

I would enjoy hearing from anyone who know him during his service in Korea. I would also like to learn more about the crash in which he died.
