67th Recon Tech Sqdn

Comments: Looking for a good clear photo of the Witch's Tit taken from Kimpo AB for use in our book we are compiling on "Photographic Reconnaissance and Interprettion During the Korean War". Credit will be given if photo is used. I served in the 67th RTS from May 1951 (K-2) and left it from Kimpo (K-14) in February 1952. Saw the Korean from the start as a photo interpreter assigned to the 548th Recon Tech Sqdn at Yokota AB,Japan. When I went from M/Sgt to 2nd Lt I had to be transferred and my destination was the 67th RTS. Was fortunate to be able to attend the 1st Reunion of the 67TRW at Dayton, Ohio last year and the 2nd one at Nashville, Tennessee this year. Next year's is scheduled for San Antonio, Texas.
