Comments: My Dad, H.W. Rocky Jones, Jr. was the pilot of the F-82G named Mid
Night Sinner based out of Itazuke, Japan during the Korean War. His
R.O. was named Talmage Allred if I remember right. There is a model
site from Germany that features Dad's plane and I had to get the pages
translated into English so I could correct the information. The author
web/model builder was more than happy to correct it for me. There are
a few model kits available with Dad's plane art and one of them actually
lists his name on the instructions only, and not the box art. If anyone
flew with my Dad and or has any pictures other than the one with the
four planes, I'd would like to get copies, or jpg's of them. I have the
original and once I locate it I will make it available at a much higher
resolution photo. My Dad also flew with Ron Sherman's Dad who was
the pilot of the Miss Carriage and I have spoken with him a few years
ago, but I was recently laid off from a 30 year contract Graphic
Designer position at NASA due to budget cuts, so use this email
instead. I would also like to know the meaning or designation of the
diagonal stripes behind the cockpit. I've seen some pics of Dad's plane
with a red one, and other pics without. I also believe he had blue
spinners and not red as models illustrate. Tragically on July 7, 1990 my
Dad was killed in a mid air collision at a Formula-1 air race when an
active NASA shuttle pilot (Gibson) clipped his wing off and spun him
into a cornfield in Texas. I plan on doing some painting of Dad's plane
and need references to confirm details.

Comments: I came to the 4th in 1949 just before Typhoon
Gloria.I had been in the 51st Field Maint Squadron
scapping out the P-47s. When that project was over I
was transfered to the 4th and was a crew Chief on a P-
61 for a while. I went TDY to Kisarazu Japan and
installed outer wings, props etc on F-82's we got
from Moses Lake WA. I went back to Naha in October of
49 as I was to return to the States I had completed
15 months on Okinawa.

Comments: My grandfather is ROBERT KEPLER and I am his grandaughter (Danielle Gaxiola). For as long as I can remeber he has told me stories about when he was in the Air Force, the planes he worked on, and many other stories. I just had a thought that it would be really awsome if i found some of the other guys that were in the same air force squadrant as him. If anybody that see's this and knows of my grandfather it would mean the world to me if you contacted this post or email me with your name so i can relay who you are to him.

Comments: I see this is about 10 years too late, but I just came across this site and thought maybe you might still be interested in more info...
I was stationed at Naha Okinawa when the Korean war started and our F-82's were shipped to Tachikawa Japan. The mechanics (me)followed a few days later. I know that I was assigned to the 4th F(AW)S. but I can't remember much else. I do know that it was our sq. that flew the first mission across the 38th and shot down the first 'mig'.. My 'plane' was WEE PEE II. I believe it was # 389 on the tail.. enclosed is a picture that I took flying in formation 'training' over Okinawa. I use to fly every chance I could as the RO. I loved it...
no picture is sent now, but if anyone wanted to see it, just email me.. thanks

Comments: Did anyone know my uncle, Barry Ross (or could have used the surname Kennedy-Ross).
He was brought up in South Africa but I understand flew with the Canadians. He was shot down behind enemy lines but made it back to camp.
I remember my mother having an article printed in the local Cape Town newspaper about this.
Sadly he passed away some years ago but was a lovely man and a well-respected teacher.
I would be very interested to learn about his time in Korea.
