Great looking group, wish I could have been there. I was at Lockbourne, 376th 63 64 65, pilot. Neil Ferrell was my AC, great flier, learned a lot from him. Lost him for 35 years, found him,talk often now. Am looking for some one who knows about b52. “whiffle manouvers” refueling with a kc135.Is there such a thing? Scott Simon, Capt.US Air Force
I was at Lake Charles La-as in the Air police. Then went to England assign to the 3928th . Guarded and town patrol after a while you know a lot about the KC97 & B47 and the crews. Hopefully more APES show at reunion like to see all the fellows that kept the snakes out.

Watched the last B-47 take off from Lincoln AFB in 1966.
Tom Johnson 307th Bomb Wing.
My father lost his life in October of 1958 at Lockbourne as a captain flying a B47. I remember him taking me to see the cockpit and being amazed at the size of the aircraft. I recently took my grandson to see the B47 & B52, two of the planes my father flew. Hats off to all of you who have served and to those who have lost family & friends. In 1970 I had all of my possessions stolen, including all of my father’s medals, patches, ribbons, bomber jacket, watch and other memorabilia. I valued them more than anything else I lost.
Does anyone remember my father Lt. Col. Robert George Graham? He was commander of the 19th bomb squadron @
March AFB. When he died, it was disbanded in 1964. I was only
10 years old and as you all remember, no one in SAC was home
very much. I would love to hear any stories you might have.
Sincerely;

I was long gone from Lincoln by then, but sure watched many a B-47 launch during my three years there. I was with the 98th BW
