Hi;  I was with the 45th TAc Recon Sq., 67th wing at K-14, Kimpo.

We had Sylvester, the fighting pussycat as our mascot,  blue with white 
polka-dots for colors. Was there from March to October, 1952, and was 
sent back to the ferrying command, under Mats.  Retired in San Antonio 
in 1975.

Flew 100 missions in F-51's in  Tac Recce, and leading fighter strikes. 

Did most of my work in I Corps, and a lot of support for the 1st Cav.

Retired from AF in 1975.  

Thanks
Dell

Thank you for your response the other night to me about my grandfather,
Ray Partridge. I did know about which squadron he was in and yes my mom
has been in contact with someone from the government about Ray.

I really did not have alot to ask about, just wanted to know if you
think they will ever find Ray's remains? My mom was only 9 years old 
when Ray died and she only has memories that a child would have.   

I am just really interested in any information about Ray. 
My grandmother, Ray's wife died last September. 

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Lisa

Looking for information about and contacts from the Fire Flys: Air Force 
flare-dropping unit attached to different wings during the police action. 

Unit was frequently mentioned/threatened on radio broadcasts out of 
North Korea.

Although the Fire Flys performed an essential service, for some 
reason wing commanders did not look upon us as a welcome addition.

Thus, we moved from base to base. We were attached at one time to the 
67th TactRecon wing and based at K1.

Just read Dell Toedt's bit about the 45th TRS and Dell & I were
classmates in Cadets and then flew 100 missons together at Kimpo 
in the 45th Sqdn. 

I was there at the same time, ie Apr 52-Oct52. I retired from
the USAF in May 1970 and presently live in Tucson, Az. 
E mail is: gsparks@azstarnet.com

 We were both in pilot training class of 51-G.If
my name rings a bell with anyone, drop me a e-mail.
