What a spectacular find! Thanks for this link, I've saved most of the photos... the owner of that album did us an enormous favor with the GIGANTIC high resolution versions of those photos.

Hey that's Rick Norris, I know that guy.

Besides a Vietnam Vet he's also a Big Corvair guy. I hope mine, one day looks half as nice as his do.

F-104C were based in Thailand in 66-67 read up on Operation Bolo they were used in it im sure?.. they failed miserbaly as i understand if im right? Also they were hopless for fighter bomber roles and were withdrawn after and deemed useless for TAC
