Well, well. Another airdale. I was, also, at Lackland from August to October. Hotter than hades but with high humidity. Then one morning it was cold and stayed that way in the mornings till I left.

My flights photo isn't there. But, when I dig out the photo, I'll post it.

I noticed some of the scans were pretty poor. Looks like newspaper photos. I've got the "commemorative" book with a good photo. I'll scan it, shop it and post it.

That's really neat. I was there in Aug. - Sept. 1980 but my picture isn't among those available. I remember it being so hot that it would melt the polish off your boots. They had the BIGGEST freaking jack rabbits I have ever seen in my life!
