Last weekend I was looking through some stuff at a garage sale down the street and I found some Kodak slides in boxes and trays. When looking at them I saw 60's era military aircraft stuff in among family and vacation photos. ...so I spent $5 and bought them along with 3 small reels of USAF 16MM movie film O-1 and O-2, 20th TASS.

Interesting stuff. Lt. Col Greenwade is a name I found associated with them. He was commander of the 20th in 1967.

Here is a sample of what I have scanned so far.

O-1 stuff.

Ok, somebody help me pick my jaw up off the desk. The aircraft in this photo is EC-135P 58-0007, which later served at Langley AFB with the 6th ACCS. How do I know this? Because my ex-stepfather was flight crew with the 6th ACCS, and this was his favorite aircraft of the whole bunch.

He wound up turning into a complete knucklehead and my Mom divorced him last year, but it's still cool to see a plane I have distinct memories of from Langley in the late 70s in this pic. Any chance I could get a high-res scan of this?

Thanks for sharing these!

I'm glad you found a connection in these pics!

I have found that a few of these airplanes still exist and some of the KC-135's are STILL FLYING for Uncle Sam!

I'll see what I can do to get you a better scan.

Thanks Zane! BTW, 007 burnt up on the ramp at Langley on 3 Jan 1980- faulty wiring in the tank for the water injection to the JT8Ds. Made a helluva mess, as I recall.

Cheers!

Sure would like to know when / where the F-100 shots were taken, must have been early on as some are not camoed, the "F" in the arm / de-arm has an empty rear seat so it's not a "Misty", pilots helmet visor is Sqdn color, not camoed. Just an old '100 guy being critical. Ran the "Misty" MX @ PhuCat back in the day.
