Photo Comment

Assigned to the 420th Air Refueling Squadron at Sculthope (EGUP). Retired to MASDC in 1964. (When I was sixteen I went on a school bus tour to Belgium and Germany. One of the high points for me was seeing one of these low on short final to Rhein-Main Air Base. Talk about aluminum overcast!)
