This site is great!
I know this is (only partly) off-topic, so I will keep it brief:
I have been looking into the CLAIMS about our CINC (The Prez, W) and his national guard service. It looks to me like the media is just spinning some yarn that all the records haven't been released. I mean, there is so much detail I can't sort through it all!
But one neat thing that is missing and I would like to have is this: The tail number from his F-102 when he was with the 111th FIS in Texas ANG. In all the pictures I can find of him with his jet, the top of the tail itself is out of the photo frame.
I am partially just interested in the documentation, but I also was thinking: that jet could still exist, mothballed, somewhere in the United States desert! I smell commercial!!!!
I am putting together a web site with the docs, hopefully in time for the convention! |

I don't know how the ANG did it, but in the Army, with our helicopters, the pilots didn't always fly the same helicopter each time. We tried to keep them primarily in one, but they often flew different aircraft for each mission.
Kept us on our toes too, LOL

I strongly suspect he flew in many of the 102's that the 111th had.
If you search the Inet you may be able to find out what 102 tail-numbers were assigned. Some people collect such aircraft data like other collect batting averages. |

|

I wasn't there. I am guessing in the guard, they rotated assignments to planes?
As in: a certain number of sorties are flown each weekend, by whatever personnel are scheduled to report that weekend?
Here are the tail numbers I have found:
56-1018, 56-1067
http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/fighter/f102.htm
then... http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/fighter/f102-6.jpg
And I have found one misleading tip for 56-1114 that is an honest mistake:
http://www.marchfield.org/f102a.htm
They stenciled his name on that one at the museum. 
I have also read some interesting web pages about his summer jobs as a pilot. Someone could do an "all the planes" montage, right up to the E-9. |
