Default River Rat display at SDAM (attn: Ed R.)

Sorry for the delay in replying - here is the list of F-105 items in the
display case under the A-4E that is the centerpiece of the WWVN montage.

- A large PI wooden model of the F-105D flown by Don Kutyna.

- Sierra Hotel hat, one each (without mission marks - hmmm), from Col. Homer
Terry.

- Assortment of flying medals from Ed Jones, only identified as a Thud guy.

- Helmet and evasion articles, courtesy of Col. Pickett

Its not a lot, but it has a few faux patches and maps spread out in the case.
There are other cases that make up the base of the Scooter display - a helo
gunner & a dustoff case, and a large group of various flight helmets.

Of greater interest these days is the *no ***** flame-streaked Apollo 9 Command
Module that curator Tony Ceres managed to acquire for our little museum!
