Just found this site. It's marvelous. I'm still looking for guys who served in the 6985th at Eielson AFB 1968-1970. I've found a few names, but cannot get their contact info. Basic training Lackland 1966, Russian language at Indiana University 1966-1967, Airborne training at Goodfellow 1967, Eielson AFB 6985th 1968-1970. I was supposed to be on the RC135 that was lost coming back from Shemya, but was grounded by the flight surgeon. We looked for those guys for many weeks. Lost some good friends on the plane. The SAC crew was awesome, especially the guys who landed us safely with only two engines still turning, blew seven tires skidding down the runway!!

Well this old relic from USAFSS is still hanging in there and just wanted to send Best Regards to all in USAFSS and the present members of the present command.
I was in USAFSS for almost 18 years as an AMT with my first assignment to the 6916th in Germany. Had a few rare trips to some rare places during my years. Norway and Iran.
The organizations I was proudly serving was the 6916th, TUSLOG Det 76 6916th,6949th,6944th,6994th, Det 1,6985th
The time I supported the mission, I could not have had a better group of airmen to support. USAFSS had such a great group of personnel and I was so proud to support them when they needed a wirebender. We had a few unique missions. My prayers still go out to the crew of 60528. I relive those days in command constantly and consider those days as the most important of my life.
I could not have served with a better group of members of the AF. God Bless you all !
