Does anyone out there know of contact info for Betty Grissom? The museum is hoping to contact her for some things that we think she would like to see.

After rotating back from Korea, Gus was assigned to the 75th FIS at Presque Isle AFB flying F-86As. They would have had the 4711th ADW white star bands around the nose and across the verticle stab. The background color was blue. I'll have to check my files to be sure, but I don't think he ever flew 75th F-89Cs.
