In 1983 Dave Cobb and I were interviewed by the CSUF magazine Insight. They were looking to interview an alumnus - and they found - me. In the December 1977 edition of Interceptor Magazine Major Dave Cobb was cited for saving his F-106 (and himself). Boy, he sure looks young :) Here's an assortment of squadron patches from over the years

When we deployed to Goose Bay, Labrador in 1985 with our F-4s we planned on having some parties. We bought about 10 cases of tequila and margarita mix to take with us. Jack Bolt got some decals made up (see below), we floated the labels off the tequila bottles and attached our own. My wife Carol, got a bunch of beach posters from her travel agency job to set the mood. This is a great sticker from almost 41 yrs ago. Wow!!! (Next Panel) We had teams from England and Germany as well as folks from the U.S. They all asked about our tequila as the Recce boys from Birmingham had brought their own moonshine. Lightning explained that our Officer's Wives Club cooked up their tequila at home in bathtubs and sold the rotgut to finance our squadron parties. Everyone bought it hook, line and sinker :) Those were some awsome parties! Do you think this stuff gets better with age? Joe Conway and Danny Cerna
I really like this one. There's some great action in the foreground to attract the eye while in the background the real story lies. Looks like Baggy hanging on to the ladder for dear life :)

Great shot of a B-52 and Fresno F-106s. Do you remember giving the gunner a workout? Just weaving and doing rolls a couple of thousand feet behind? It was seriously un-nerving to watch those four big barrels tracking you no matter what you did. Oh yeah, those guys could put out some serious power with their "Gate Stealer" and the ability to drive your azimuth lock right off the scope. They must have carried a couple of tons of Chaff as well. Tail #s 038, 784 and 774 #580-774 from September 1979 Jim found this picture. I think it was #011 - it just got back from Otis AFB for an inspection. Seems that the Otis guys had a pretty good sense of humor about the California Brown Bear :) A 4-ship of 194th FIS F-106s.
