Buckley has been through so many Command Changes, the USAF is now the flavor of the month. Right, but the Navy was the flavor of the month when you supposedly saw P-38s fying out of there. So what's your next story? The Navy was flying P-38s? Are you aware that each one has taken command for Admin reasons? Buckley didn't change in it's Services represented. It still has a large Navy, Marine, Army and Airforce representation. Regardless of who's' turn it is to command it, it's mission for support for the Rocky Mountain Region hasn't changed in decades. There is even Coast Guard Units. The Aircraft that are permenently stationed there are Air National Guard as well as Marine and Army. All that ever changes is the Administrative Command. The Air Force decided with the loss of Lowry and the Regional Hospital that an expansion was needed to fill in those gaps. But the Units have not changed nor has the mission. Check out what Buckley actually does. You may be surprised. |

Check out what Buckley actually does. You may be surprised. Let's see, looking at the heritage section of http://www.buckley.af.mil/ it looks like the ANG maintained a presence there through the 50s. But, it looks like the 120th TFS and 140th Wing flew F-51s when you say they were supposed to be flying P-38s. ~Michael |
