Williams AFB home team 1979 & 1980

Post by xkekeith » Tue Mar 02, 2021 9:21 am

These scanned K64 slides were taken in October 1979 and October 1980 and show the based units & types.

The F-5's including examples original ordered by Iran but not delivered and allegedly an F-5B returned from Vietnam.
