Wow I haven't seen that picture in many years. I believe it was taken in 1988, the last year that ISAFAF had the UH-1Ns. We won an award for having all aircraft 100% and in the air. I was in one of them when the picture was taken. You wouldn't have any more pictures from the 4460th would you?

I have more pictures. I was a crew chief there from 1982 until 1986. Initially we were Detachment 1, 57 FWW. The huey's were red and white then were painted with the black and white paint scheme. Let me know if you are looking for more photos. Theodoretrask@comcast.net
DeleteI’ve been searching for some decent stuff on the subject and haven't had any luck up until this point, You just got a new biggest fan!.. helicopter rent
ReplyDeleteI was there until the deactivation (actually, two weeks after as one of the birds broke and I had to stay). When you talk about your 'Air Force family", you really mean it at ISAFAF. I was going to be alone in the barracks for Thanksgiving. but Col. Ed Harrow would have none of that! I ended up at his house for the Holiday!
