Did he serve in the 58th? I understand the 58th flew F-84s. What markings and colors identified a jet as being from the 58th. What unit/squadron had two yellow tail strips (one over and under the tail id number)? Thank you. Keywords: Jack Quinn F-84 Pilot

Would be interested in hearing from someone who may have known my Uncle Alex, or witnessed his accident during a high speed buzzing (antenna check) at k-18. His wing tip dragged the ground and he bounced off the ground before climbing. He ejected clean, but his chute was just a streamer. Not enough altitude to blossom. Killed instantly. I've obtained an accident report, but it would fill a void to talk to someone who might know more. Thanks, Michael. Keywords: 310th fighter squadron, f-86-f, K-18, Kangnung

He was one of the F-86 Mechanics. He's doing fine these days just taking it easy. He's geting up in his years but he's doing well. Just thought i'd post this for him since he dosn't use computers. lol :-) For what it's worth i have the Topper patch from his jacket framed here on the wall with a picture of him in the snow by the F-86's. Man those must have been some really cold winters for you guys. Thanks you for doing everything that you did for our freedom. Reading up on the history of the 310th back even into WWII in the old P-47D's....it's my opinion that the 310th is the best damn squadron to have ever taken flight. They never seem to get the credit or recogntion they so rightly deserve. Keywords: 310th fighter bomber squadron
