references to FEAF.

Was permanently stationed at Yakota Japan with the 347th TAC Wing, the 80th TAC
Fighter Squadron aka the Head Hunters. Due to the Pueblo Incident the 80th TAC
and its Sister Squadron (the 36h TAC) were assigned rotation TDYs. Each Squadron
took turns for typically 60 days each tour at the Osan AB. The first TDY for
the 80th was 06-Mar-68 which was manned with F105s. The next TDY was 14-Aug-68
and the F105s (Thunder Birds) was replaced with F4Cs (Phantoms). I again was
ordered TDY 15-Dec-68 and again 23-Apr-69. Working and sleeping on secured
Diamond that was patrolled by guards with K9s and housed a cement bunker that
stored bombs. There also were high-alert separate hangers that kept several F4C
nuclear-armed and ready for a fifteen minute take off. During one TDY there was
an accident where two F4Cs in on hanger were preparing to taxi. One F4C caught
fire then the second one ignited. Unfortunately three of our 80th ground crew
members were killed.

where I can find a list of players, I would love it. My father would be 91 this
year and I'm putting together his memories. I have a ball that the team signed
when they won the AF World Series, at least that's what he called it. I have the
silver cup and signed ball that the team signed for him and presented to him as
Coach. I have tons of pictures that I would love to share with other families

My father was in the air force as a mechanic and he would never tell me very

when I couldn't hear them very well.
Anyway what I'm here to say is that I know he was in the Korean war and he
served multiple terms.
I'm trying to find any info on his service I can. I'm not sure really how to do
this.
His name was Wendell Dexter (Rusty) Osborne
Born November 1st 1938 i will follow any and all tips and or advise to find the

I arrived at K-6 and was assigned to 607th AC&W Squadron. in Jan. 1955. I
remember living in a tent for a short time and then to a quonset hut. I went
there by old world war 2 troop ship, Terrible storms almost the whole trip.
Seasick every one of the 15 days..Was glad to get on solid ground. We went by
Korean train to wherever we were going. The train broke down and we didn't have
any heat for hours. Got to K-6 finally. It was near Pyuontek. I was assigned to
motor vehicle unit and took care of scheduling all of the vehicles for
maintenance. We has jeeps, weapons carriers and world war II 2 1/2 ton trucks. I
remember the jeeps were not allowed to go off Base because the road were too
bad. I was with all of the guys that worked on the vehicles. Most of them were
great guys. That year was quite an experience for everyone. Went to Tokyo for
R&R after 6 months. I don't want to talk about that trip. Most of you know what
I mean. Got back home on Dec. 22, 1955 because the had a thing called "Operation
Santa Claus" Anyone within a month of going home got to leave early. Went to
Haneda AFB, Next stop Wake Island to Refuel. Next stop Hawaii. Then on to Calif.
Then New York. No flights to Phila. available. Took train from NY to Philly. The
cab to my parents who lived in Kensington. Got married on 6th of Jan. Then my
wife and I went to Westover AFB, Mass. for my last 15 mo. Made A/!C shortly
after getting there. Was assigned to HQ Sqdn. The had B-36's when I got there,
but they soon brought in B-52's to replace them. Quite an exciting day when they
all came in 1 by 1. That was SAC commaned by good old Gen. Curtis E. LeMay. I
would not trade that Air force 4 yrs. for anything.. my Broher went on to spend
23 yrs in USAF. He was in Logistics and worked with SR-71. My Son also joined
USAF in 1986 and became an Aircraft Mech. Las plane he worked on was F-16s and
part of his service was in Korea not far from where K-6 was...Hope I didn't bore
anyone with this story..I can be contacted @ williampirrung2@comcast.net.

shattered the front windshield and went between the driver and me causing minor
injuries from the glass to our faces and necks. We received medical treatment at
the K2 compound. The shooter was captured and was a North Korean who with 13 other
insurgents who had surrounded the gravel pit area. They were all captured.

I also served as a member of the Air Force Honor Guard while stationed
their. (Ceremonies and Funerals)

"I was also at work the day of the explosion and the Base being (literally)
on fire. I still remember how the flames shot up out of the Binjo Ditches
as the fuel poured down the hill from the tank that exploded."

I landed at osan air base April 1959 . My new station was to be kimpo. No
transportation going north so I started hiking north from k55. Got into Seoul
late that day . Stayed that night at a air born weather station. Oh by the
way I was a weather forecaster. My kimpo stay lasted 2 days and I was resigned
to a I CORE army unit. That lasted about a week. Then I was sent to the First
Calvery 15th aveation near munsane.that lasted about 2 months and I was sent
down to KUNSAN till I left Korea in April of 1960. I had atop secret rating
and was doing target work on north Korea . So what metal is all that worth?
Other then being a mover. Loved my time with the first cav. 15th AVATION army.

During this time the 347 TFW had a constant presence at Osan AB. During the
twenty months I was stationed in Japan I was TDY eleven months at Osan and one
month at Kunsan. Closed down our operation at Osan and remember how strange
the silence on C diamond was especially when the LOX plant shut down.

Was sent to Gifu Airbase in 1956. Joined up with 2nd Radio Relay Sqd. as an
APU mechanic. Went TDY to Korea in late 1956 to K55. Went overland to
Inchon and boarded an LCU. They sent us North in pretty rough seas. Found
out why I didn't join the Navy. Went to a little Island know as Tok Chok
Do..
I was driving a duce and a half with trailer in tow. Laid on the seat most
of the trip. Our mission was to set up a radio relay site. This was
accomplished and we operated the site for a couple of months.
While there 2nd Radio Relay moved to Kadena Airbase to Okinawa. When I left
Korea I met up with our Sqd. at Kadena.
After a short stay I was sent TDY to Formosa. We set up another relay site
just out side of Taipei. This was when Red China was shelling the islands
off the main land. These are some of the reasons that we were called the
Mountain Goats of the Far East. I have a certificate to show this. No
medal to show though. In case you are wondering I'm 82 years old.

My Uncle was Col. Robert F Lalonde, USAF Retired - he flew in three major
campaigns: WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Unfortunately, we lost him in 2015, but
pleasant memories of him linger! We would love to hear back from anyone who
has memories, photos, stories or know of a loved one who worked with him at
some point during his long career in the AF.

Here are a few tidbits of what I can recollect of Uncle Bob to better help
to identify him - he joined the AAF back in the 1940's, - flew biplanes, P-
51, B-17, B-29, DC-3, KC-135 refueling tankers - SAC at Omaha in the 1960's
- flew secret propaganda missions over China, etc - Flight commander for all
Russia recon flights from Alaska for last three years prior to retirement.
Stationed in the Phillipine's during WWII. He was a Command Pilot and
piloted VP of US sometimes. It was too painful for home to share many of his
missions even when he was in his 80's. He died at 93. He left me many AF
photos and old 8mm movies dating back to the 1940's, which I will share. He
was a terrific pilot and an exceptional human being! He was 6'2" and carried
a genuine winsome smile for everyone he met! I would be delighted to learn
what groups, squadrons, wings, divisions, etc of which he may have been a
part during any time in his long career.

I was stationed at Kunsan afb from Dec 67 to Jan 69. I was trained as a air
policeman. I routinely patrolled the perimeter of the base as part of my
duties. I did observe spraying ( of what's now known as agent orange ) by rok
solders. currently I have several medical problems related to agent orange, I
have submitted a claim with the VA but has been denied. the VA excuse is they
have no records agent orange was used this far south of the DMZ. that's BS and
they know it. If anyone has information about official records by the
government of the spraying at Kunsan I would like to hear from you. TKS

I was an air traffic controller at McChord when the Pueblo was taken by the

tower at Taegu K2 for a month with the ROFAF then ordered up to Palgong San.
We started the Taegu radar high altitude center using the air defense radar.
Winter was cold on the 4,000 ft mountain but duty was not bad. At least no
one was shooting at us like a lot of you guys during the war!

Did have some distraction on the mountain when we could talk a flight of
F4's to buzz the mountain with after burners. Our commander would go totally
nuts!

I have some pics of the place if anyone ever wants.

and 1 month old as a corporal . I came over in oct. 13.1952
till oct. 13,m 1953 . I came with Charles Fruzzitti and
Peter perdickis.Chuck crewed the Generals c47 on the south
side of the field. Pete was the inturpeter for the Greek
Squadron that was there on the north side .had a fantastic
time as the treaty was signed while I was waiting for my
orders at the 6461st in Japan. We flew a few air evacks then
,but mostly food and mail. A couple USO Shows and a few
Korean big wigs. The greatest thrill was landing on the
beach at K53 and landing on grass at K39 . Great year and
went on to Columbus, indiana to spend the next 2 years as
engineer on C45's and C46's flew to 46 different states and
Mexico. GO KYUSHU GYPSIES.

E4 with over 4 years in 1968. Served one year
unaccompanied tour at K-2 airbase (Taegu) 1968-1969. Was
there when Pueblo crew was released on 23 DEC 1968 (my
birthday). Heard a live account on Armed Forces Radio
Network. Was still there when North Korea shot down US
Navy EC-131 recon aircraft. Exciting times. That was as
close to a real war as I've ever been.

I served in the US Air Force Security Police from June 1967
until July 1968 at K-2, Taegu. I was an airman E2 while I
was stationed there. I was there during the attempt on the
President of South Korea and during the capture of the navy
ship off the coast of South Korea. There were 156 men
stationed there during this time until the ship was taken
and then the base grew to over 4,000. I worked on the
Tiger flight for SSgt. Smith. While there the special
forces came to our base to help secure the base from the
North Korean's who were trying to gain access to the bases
in the South.

our welcoming to base to know what happened in tower, I
unstuded that at least 7 air policeman was hung in tower, I
geuest it was just me but it seems that the sun never shined
on tower. Loved Korean people and still do, never met anyone
people as nice. as a black soldier, I had never been treated
like so kind in amemica, as my buddy and I was traveling
from lackland air Force Base to Birmingham Alabama and had a
gun pull on us with our uniforms on . The lowest period in
my live was when I was coming home from Korea ,and had ate
breakfast I tachikawa Japan and heard about the four black
girls killed in bombing of church in Birmingham Alabama.
When on to return to Vietnam for twelve mos. And Detroit as
a Staff Sgt. Training sup. ( Veiw movie De troit, heard one
of my fellow soldiers tell Detroit police that he wanted to"
bust a cap on one of these niggers, had sign in bathroom
onwall in first precint that "who ever kill the most niggers
get a 10.000 dollar reward. And even as being the only black
in my squardon and a staff Sgt. I constantly felt like my
life was in danger. I resigned for this reason.truth was
never told about how special task forces was formed just to
profile black Vietnam vets. I don,t know, maybe truth would
have saved 58,000 lives plus untold millions of women and

so I was left behind along with one other airman until we were flown to
Tachikowa

units still
at Kimpo so I wound up doing mess check in the officers' mess hall.
My return stateside was by military sea transport from Yokohama to Adak, AK

Was never really stationed in Korea but during 1961-62 and
63 I flew with VR7-A making almost daily flights from
Tachikawa, Japan to Kempo, Korea. We carried Military
passengers all over the Far East and Korea was just one of
our many stops. One winter (very cold) the C121 I was
assigned to lost an engine on a landing approach at Kimpo,
that happened while I was on my off time at Tachikawa. I
had to report back to base since I was a senior Aircraft
Mechanic and load a new Engine onto a C124 and fly to Kempo
to do the engine change. It took several days to do a job
that should not have taken but a day. The aircraft was
parked out in the open and the wind and snow blew so hard
it was hard to see but just a few feet. Like I said at the
first, I was never stationed in Korea but I sure remember
it.

I served in Korea at K-55, in Base Operations from spring of

pleasure and satisfaction from the open bay barracks walking
a hundred yards to shower in sub-zero temps, and very little
to do other than drink and play cards, helped build an
orphanage off-base, along with a bunch of other wonderful
men, didn't shoot anyone nor get shot at. I feel deeply
today for all the folks who didn't get to climb on a C-124
and go home. Too many are still there. All the politicians,
the President and his crowd can keep the medal. I don't need

there during that time. I have stories and many photos to

My LOX deployed Jan-July 1968 for 6 months from Naha AFB in
support of the 82FIS at Suwon AFB. At the time the ROK was
in charge of this base. Our fighters planes were constantly
on scramble mode because of the border violations by North

Korea. My section living quarters was in a ROK Quanson hut
supply room until Red horse built us a hardback tent at the
end of the runway by the LOX plant. We were 24 hours
operation making breathing oxygen for our fighters. I know
that in January, we all got sick with the flu but continued
working. I think the whole got sick since we came from
Okinawa.

We were glad to get the tent because the supply room could
only sleep 3 people and we had to alternate sleeping since
we were on rotating shifts. we had several infiltrations
until the ROK Army moved in around. We felt safer than.
They built foxholes and placements for their Antiaircraft
guns. We had more room now for our combat gear and make
shift wash area. I transferred from the Army to the USAF
because they had better quarters, but now we were in the
Army of the Air Force. After a few months we had our R&R at
Osan AFB. That was a real base.

We should have received a Expeditionary Ribbon for that,
but didn't get one.

PS: when we deployed from Naha the loadmaster forgot to
close the vent valve on the 2000 gal LOX tank. as we
started to get off the ground the lox started to come out
the over flow pipe. He said what can we do. I said close
the valve and pray the aircraft doesn't have any oil leaks.
That's my story. Member of the 51th Supply
Squadron /fuels/Lox plant at Naha AFB Okinawa 1968-1969
quartered down by big gun placement.

served 1956/57 AACS Osan. My records were burned up in the
records center fire and the only document I had was old
orders for an R& R, but it was not good enough. I am
appealing. They agreed I was there, but couldn't prove I
was there more than 30 days. Gosh I was given an R & R for
less than 30 days in Korea.

I was at K2 in 1951 Worked in Radio operations, then

Control Tower at K2.
I was in the control tower during a North Korean raid on the
base, I couldn't go down the stairs to the ground without
being killed. The North Koreans parked a truck below the
control tower with explosives in it. an airman I did not
know jumped into the truck and drove it some 40 feet away,
then got out of the truck and ran, the truck went up seconds
later
and the airman was blasted in the back. He was sent to a
hospital in Japan. I was never able to find out who he was
or how he was doing.

I was in Korea from April 1957 until April 1958. Flew into Kimpo as a 17 year old. Went to K-55 (OSAN) by 6x6 truck bumpy as xxxx and dusty too. Worked at K-6(pyongtaek) for couple of months and was then sent to Cheju-do (island) (K-39) for the remainder of my tour. Was a Crypto operator. Never will forget the night we caught an old Korean man crawling under the perimeter fence with a jeep engine strapped to his back. Was on the island when the russians put up the first satellite into orbit around the earth. Sputnik I believe it was called. Spent some time at Itazuke AB near Fukuoka Japan during that time too. I remember Cheju as being a desolate place. Recently I saw a golf tournament being held at some beautiful resort on the island. they called it 'jeju' on tv. Would like some information regarding the 'medal' if it is available. I still have some black n white photo's of the island and a couple from Fukuoka Japan also, if anyone would like to see them email me at the above address and I will send them to you by email or regular mail.
