Thursday 11/25/2010 10:24:52am Name: Pete Doe aka “Squatswitch”
E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: York, Maine Your Entry: Duane: Just a note to relate that I am turning in the tool box for the last time. I've had two practice tries but this time I think I've got it. So, support section, here I come!!!
It has been a long long trek (47 years, 4 months, plus a few days) across every continent, save one, and over many, many flight lines around the world. From RAAF Laverton south of Melbourne, Australia, RAF Stations Alconbury & Upper Heyford (UK), Flugplatz Bitburg (FRG), RDAF Aalborg and Karup (Denmark) to Wheelus AB, Libya, Eskisehir AB, Turkey, to Tan Son Nhut, RVN, and on many many flight lines in between I have practiced my trade and been both honored and privileged to work alongside the finest people (my opinion) one could be blessed to work with - aircraft maintainers & security cops. But I think my colleagues who have gone before and those of us who may remain, have met the challenge given us on that cold January morning in Washington, D.C., in January 1961. (You know, I can still see President Kennedy's breath in the cold air as he challenged us to ask what we could do for our country.)
Most of the treks were hard, but @#%$! good times (the O'Club bar at Bitburg was open every night of the year closing early on one night only - Christmas Eve at 2200L), punctuated now and then by the loss of a comrade. On a few, I wished more than once, I was @#%$! well someplace else (when we "creased" the nose of a "banana" on a jet on alert at UH). On some others I was either dumbfounded by what the folks had accomplished (set back to back F-111E generation records of 4 hours and 43 minutes and 4 hours and 40 minutes, records that were never

¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¡ ¤ ¥ ¦ §
UPPER HEYFORD Memorial Web Site GUEST BOOK ARCHIVE 2010 www.raf-upper-heyford.org
bettered) or almost laughed myself to death (some maintainers and operators conspired to send ten aircraft down the runway with only nine on hand for the "elephant walk" during Aviano's TAC EVAL to the utter frustration of the NATO inspectors who tried in vain to figure out where the maintainers got the "tenth" jet - easy, one went down twice). On a few others, the treks were on occasion, heartbreaking (the new RF-4 WSO who in his first exercise sortie tried to pull the jet out of a dive after the aircraft commander had a massive fatal heart attack at low level, but became a casualty himself, leaving a wife and a three month old daughter). These are but a small sampling of the highs & lows.
I have never ever regretted turning down navigator training in favor of aircraft maintenance. That decision allowed me the HONOR and PRIVILEGE of laboring alongside a group of people, 98% of whom are absolutely THE GREATEST. Special thanks to Chiefs Kelly, O'Reilly, Boyle, and Burnette (all Chiefs, not an E-9 there)for keeping me on course on speed and to MSgts Dunning and Crawford for the practical education on how to really run an efficient flight line and aircraft inspection dock. We weren't taught that at Maintenance Officer School. Again, a small sample of the rock solid NCOs I worked with and whom I would never insult by addressing them on a first name basis.
Except for two years since my AF retirement, I have been doing contract work for the AF (maintenance ops at Sheppard and sustainment for NORAD at ESC). Now it is time to block, chock, and shutdown.
There are many others whose name and face are indelibly imprinted in my memory such as diminutive A2C Gillian Merrill of the 1st CRS Machine Shop at Langley who would take her tool box and routinely go out and embarrass some big burly F-15 crew chief by easily removing a fastener he had massacred. And a certain wing commander who told me one Christmas Eve morning on the flight line at RAF Alconbury after a tremendous wind storm did lots of damage the night before that "he and I were the only two SOBs on base that gave a hoot." And I will be forever grateful for the honor a certain major general bestowed on me at RAF Station Upper Heyford. What class!
I have not nor will I ever forget any of you, good Lord willing. God Bless.

E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Littlestown, PA - USA Your Entry: I just "stumbled" across this site while searching for F-111 photos. I was stationed there from '86-'89. I was a Crew Chief in the 79th, Yellow One Section. My airplane was 083, "Strange Brew". I elected to extend my overseas tour for 12 months. I then ended up, where else, then Cannon AFB in Clovis, NM. until '92 when I got out. I searched for jobs a few years then decided to join the Reserves at Dover AFB, DE as a Crew Chief on C-5's. A couple years later I interviewed and was accepted as a Flight Engineer. This was the GREATEST of GREAT jobs any enlisted person could dream of. traveled the world and drank LOTS of beer! While serving as a Reservist, I flew for Pan Am as a PFE in Portsmouth, NH (YES, the 'ole Plattsburgh AFB) for 2 years when Pan Am folded up for the FINAL time. The Iraq War activated my unit at Dover and we flew the hell out of those planes! I received the Air Medal for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2006 I was the Flight Engineer in the C-5 that crashed short of the runway at Dover AFB, DE. Today, I am a disabled vet trying to work again. GREAT to see this web site!

E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Boise Your Entry: Just browsing through the pages...I don't seem to find anyone I remember. Maybe it's my memory!!
I was there Oct 76-Oct 79 in WCIN/AMS. Funny how people remember their time there as "the best years" of their lives. What I remember is rain, working 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week, and "recalls". But I loved the F-111, especially at night and when they did the "elephant walk".
FYI: I found a page on facebook that people might find interesting, it's called "Save the F-111". GREAT PHOTOS. Check it out.
I guess Australia is having an "official retirement" of the F-111 this December. how sad.

E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Jacksonville, THE Sunshine State Your Entry: I was stationed at Upper Heyford from: 01/18/73 - 02/13/1975. Wow, what a site. I've been looking for a site that had "any" information on it about Heyford quite a while. At last, I found the right one. Okay, let's see, I was member of the 20th SPS and I think it was, C-Flight. Flight-Chief was named MSgt Doctor. Ok now come on guys, the chow- bus, was really called: the "Roach-Coach", right... well, maybe because that was what we called it on the Swing and Midnight - fight. hahaha... Ok, the NCO Club was kool, but I did make quite a few runs to downtown London, to the D-House (many of you guys have never heard of it). House parties were in Lower Heford, Oxford, Banbury. God, has it been 35 years already ? ? ? ? ? ? Some of the guys that I ran with were: Marshall (he played football for Heyford), my roomie was Ricardo, Bullock (Bull), Greene, Gunther, James, Adams, Shotgun(K-9), Hainey, Armstrong, The Twins (Ronald & Arnold), CMSgt Rigsby, Landers, Smitty, and the list goes on and on... Not sure where any of these guys are today. Hey, let's face it, it's been 35 years and most of them probably wouldn't remember me anyhow. Just the same, the "reunion" sounds great. I think it would be quite a task though. Especially since most are alover the country, and some are even out of the country. Me, I've been retired from the Federal government (Dept of Treasury) for two years now and I enjoy retirement life like you wouldn't believe. Well, if any of you out there remember me, email me at [email protected], and, if the reunion takes off, let me know. By the way, the Veterans outreach program that was mentioned (somewhere in Texas I think) is a terrific idea. Start planning.... Kudos the the person who came up with this site. It's a great place for old soldiers such as myself to reminisce about the "good ole days" on the tarmac with the F-111s, the 135s... Does anyone remember "the Falconier"?

Monday 03/08/2010 3:33:00pm Name: Gerald Ellis
E-Mail : [email protected] City/Country: Merced, Ca Your Entry: Hi....I just stumbled on to your website and have reviewed it with great interest. I was TDY at Upper Heyford for 3 months in early 1956. I was an ECM tech. with the 509th out of Walker AFB, Roswell NM. The short time we were there are good memories. We spent several nites each week at the New Inn in Oxford, and the small pub in Lower Heyford. One afternoon we were summoned by the squadron headquarters to line up on the right side of the runway. A B47 attempting to land could not activate it's starboard outrigger. Approximately 75 men lined up with the idea of holding the wing up when the plane slowed down after touchdown, when the pilot made his first touch and go, the pilot "crabbed" the plane, and it appeared to be heading for the men lined on the runway. Most of them ran like hell until they realized the plane was in a yaw configuration. The 2nd attempt the plane landed and as it slowed to almost a stop, the men were able to run under the wing hold it from touching and eventually pried down the outrigger. Succesfully. Anyway, thanks for your website and memories.
Best Regards
Jerry Ellis

Enjoyed my tour at the airbase in Upper Heyford. The F 111,s were a great aircraft to work on. Just a short note my dad was born in London his name is Bob Ross. He had a good friend named Ronnie Winn who years ago worked for the top executives at Pinewood Studios London England from the 1970s in to the 1990s. Ronnie I would like to get in touch with you. Take care. Rob Ross Palm Desert California
