A-4 / A-7 Question

Lo, many moons past, on 17 Oct 2003 15:53:34 -0700, a stranger called
by some (Peter Stickney) came forth and
told this tale in us.military.army

I'm probably going to fan all sorts of foolishness, but here's what
the Air Force History Office, via _Combat Units of the Air Force_,
Maurer Maurer, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., and
_Combat Squadrons of the Air Force_, Maurer Maurer, Governmnet
Printing Office, Washington, D.C.
have to say on the subject of Fighter Equipment in the post-WW 2 era:

Excellent information, sir!

Of course, Daryl will cry, scream and accusde you of being a Troll.
But once again, he has been shown to be a lying ignoramus.

Nice troll, moron. I didn't say that it was a single one. If it had been
one, it very well have been the Confederate AF. There were too many to be
from the CAF. But I don't expect you to understand. Just keep trolling on
and reading those books. Just remember, those are just opinions as well.

I forgot, what year did you see these P-38 over the Denver area ?

According to

http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/...ty/buckley.htm

Buckley was a Naval Air Station from '47 to '59.

Oh now you're just trolling Daryl. ;-)

He stated a fact, Troll. 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.

I don't know what year. I was pretty young at the time. I asked my Uncle
what they were and he stated they were P-38s. My Uncle retired from Lowry
AFB as a GS-15 about 20 years ago with 33 years. I believe I will accept
his explanation over yours.

So it must have been prior to 1947 or so wasn't it ?

Your story keeps changing. Was it 1947? Or was it 1949? Or was it 1950?
You really need to review what you write before you answer.

And, of course, Daryl was drunk at the time.

Anybody else notice that whenever Daryl is pushed for facts he says he
was drunk, or "pretty young" or has some other BS excuse to cover up
the fact that he's full of crap?

I'm not the one claiming to have seen squadron strength flights of P-38's
in the Denver area after WW2, you were.

But since you can't seem to remember the year and the USAF history office
disagree's with you....

Now about those P-38's in Korea....

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.
