Hi all! Flt Controls tech school at Lowry Dec \'55 to Jun\'56, Orlando \'til \'57 Xfer to Pinecastle AFB (SAC), 321st Bombardment Wing, Orlando, Fla in support of Bell\'s RASCAL Pgm. Pinecastle was renamed McCoy AFB after Col. McCoy was killed in a air disaster. The RASCAL Pgm was cancelled and I got orders to Sembach 11th TAC Missile Sq. in Sep \'57. Next to Hahn AB and the 822nd TAC Missile Sq in mid \'58. Each time on a launch crew until rotation to states. Then to Lowry once more and 451st Strategic Missile Wing (Titan I) to oversee build and installation of first Titan I\'s and part of 451st Missile Maint Sq. In Jun \'63 PCS to Vandenberg AFB and 576 Strat. Missile Sq. in support of classified Thor pgm. I have the \'57 yearbook published for the 11 TAC Missile Sq at Sembach is anyone is interested in a copy (pdf). Also an official photo of Matador on Launcher at Patrick AFB, Fla and the launch team I was on, I believe Flt \'B\', taken 8-5-1959. Team traveled from Hahn to Patrick for launch.
