Bob, Mark, Randy... thanks for the comments. Pusan AB, aka K-9, is mentioned in many stories about Korea. The website that Bob gave the link to about B-26 ops in Korea is outstanding. I got to reading some of those stories and couldn't stop. There is an incredible similarity with the VN ops over the HCM Trail in Laos. Of course, Colonel Tony Curto who flew B-26's in Korea was instrumental in developing tactics for VN so it is not surprising that they were as effective as they were. BTW, if you look back several pages to the picture of Joe Maynard deplaning at NKP with the first delivery of A-26's to NKP, that is Col Curto greeting him. If you can't find it easily, check out our facebook page as we recently posted the same picture there.

Buba wears the colors of the Korean War. It sure would look good for Buba and Kay to fly a formation over some sporting event. In other news, FiFi and Diamond Lil are back nose to nose in the VFM Hangar at Meacham Field. FiFi will be there for winter maintenance until January. This would be a great time to come see the B-29 and B-24 as well as K. From the Republic, JR
