Wow, what a site. I'vebeen looking for a site that had "any" information on it about Heyford quite a while. Atlast, I found the right one. Okay, let's see, I was member of the 20th SPS and I think itwas, C-Flight. Flight-Chief was named MSgt Doctor. Ok now come on guys, the chowbus,was really called: the "Roach-Coach", right... well, maybe because that was whatwe called it on the Swing and Midnight - fight. hahaha... Ok, the NCO Club was kool,but I did make quite a few runs to downtown London, to the D-House (many of youguys have never heard of it). House parties were in Lower Heford, Oxford, Banbury.God, has it been 35 years already ? ? ? ? ? ? Some of the guys that I ran with were:Marshall (he played football for Heyford), my roomie was Ricardo, Bullock (Bull),Greene, Gunther, James, Adams, Shotgun(K-9), Hainey, Armstrong, The Twins(Ronald & Arnold), CMSgt Rigsby, Landers, Smitty, and the list goes on and on... Notsure where any of these guys are today. Hey, let's face it, it's been 35 years and mostof them probably wouldn't remember me anyhow. Just the same, the "reunion"sounds great. I think it would be quite a task though. Especially since most are aloverthe country, and some are even out of the country. Me, I've been retired from theFederal government (Dept of Treasury) for two years now and I enjoy retirement lifelike you wouldn't believe. Well, if any of you out there remember me, email me atborkemrif@aol.com, and, if the reunion takes off, let me know. By the way, theVeterans outreach program that was mentioned (somewhere in Texas I think) is aterrific idea. Start planning.... Kudos the the person who came up with this site. It's agreat place for old soldiers such as myself to reminisce about the "good ole days" onthe tarmac with the F-111s, the 135s... Does anyone remember "the Falconier"?Page 38 of 50

I wasTDY at Upper Heyford for 3 months in early 1956. I was an ECM tech. with the 509thout of Walker AFB, Roswell NM. The short time we were there are good memories.We spent several nites each week at the New Inn in Oxford, and the small pub inLower Heyford. One afternoon we were summoned by the squadron headquarters toline up on the right side of the runway. A B47 attempting to land could not activate it'sstarboard outrigger. Approximately 75 men lined up with the idea of holding the wingup when the plane slowed down after touchdown, when the pilot made his first touchand go, the pilot "crabbed" the plane, and it appeared to be heading for the men linedon the runway. Most of them ran like hell until they realized the plane was in a yawconfiguration. The 2nd attempt the plane landed and as it slowed to almost a stop, themen were able to run under the wing hold it from touching and eventually pried downthe outrigger. Succesfully. Anyway, thanks for your website and memories.Best RegardsJerry EllisSaturday 03/06/2010 11:29:11amName: Christopher J.
