Comments: Greetings and Merry Christmas to all USAFSS Vets. I am most likely among the oldest of the recon flyers having performed my duties in RB29 #290 out of Yokota in '56 and '57. Those were the good old days.

Comments: Larry,
Thanks for your great histories of USAFSS. I was a 30452 radio maintenance puke who delighted in finding himself embedded in an intel organization. 6913th at Bremerhaven Jul-Dec 1959. Forced transfer to 6937th at Peshawar from Dec 59 to Sep 60. Interesting times there after Powers shootdown. (He took off from the Peshawar airport). 6981st at Elmendorf from Nov 1960 till Sep 1962 with TDYs to Northeast Cape and the AFSSO at Eielson. After discharge, spent 4 yrs in CIA including a tour in Taiwan with their U-2 project. Marriage to "dreaded" foreign national terminated that happy experience.
