Becoming listed

Comments: Among my treasures is a June 1952 squadron photo across the wing leading edge of an RF-80. People I can identify include: Brown, Mulhern, Cowgill, Rigsby, myself, Aney, Nuschke, Kotula Hesch, Voss, Hays, Perry, Brown, Winchester, Voegeli, Akin, Harris, Wilson, Masterson, Blank, Browatski, Vanderhoek, McDuff, Williams, McKay, Moreland, Clancy, Sweney. There are four that I can't make out. Ed Hill must have been flying a mission.

I flew my first mission on the wing of Ess. We called him "Max Volume" cause he talked so loudly.

I have checked to see if I can copy the photograph with it in the frame and it did pretty good. I will be glad to send it if you can use it.

Some where along I became the Wing PIO but remained a full time line pilot. I flew my last mission on Sept. 22.

Please let me know if there is some other email address I should contact.

Thanks for the work you or somebody has done.

John E. Orr, 1/Lt AO1904616, Class of 51-H, Waco and Willy.

Keywords: From April 1952 until Nov 1952 I was a line pilot in the 15th. I flew the RF80-A-10. Major Grey was sqd cmdr when I got there but Major Jack Williams took over. I was on a two ship photo mission with Masterson when we heard Clyde Voss call out Williams' hit. Voss is an Aggie and so am I. We were good friends. I want my 8 grand children to be able to find my name among the records. I thought I left a foot print but it doesn't look like it. I went through Shaw with Jimmy Howell, as wel as basic and advanced. Met up with Karl Hesch at Shaw. I don't find him listed either. He got real raw deal out of Wilson after he took over. Karl was a real good backseat driver in the T-33. Apparently we were having some trouble with new pilots coming from Shaw and 10,000 feet of landing surface to Kimpo and 5200 feet. Wilson made a deal with Hesch to take him of the mission rotation some where before he went on the P-5 Report if he would check our new pilots full time. It was really more dangerous than flying missions. Karl and I lived together and we were right together on missions until he agreed to the deal. I went on report when I got 80 missions and he went to check on his status and Wilson told him he would have to go one and complete his 100. I remember Karl cried like a baby. He was married and had a little girl at home in Florida. I left him there. I sure hope he made it.

What else do I need to do to get included?
