Email: Namusaf7071@aol.com  (I was stationed at England AFB from Sept 1971 until my discharge in June of 1973. ( I was not smart enough to re-enlist ). I was initially assigned to the 4403rd FMS, and later the Flying Tigers were re-activated as the 23rd TFW. I was a reciprocating engine mechanic, 43251, working on C-123's. The funny thing is that EAFB was the last place I wanted to go after Vietnam. I wanted to go to either the east or west coast. I made the best of it, and found the people to be very friendly. I was a member of St. James Episcopal Church, and attended stock car races at Forest Hill Speedway. As a result, I have been back to visit often, and will be in town the week after next to visit my "adopted family". Alexandria is one of the places high on my list for my upcoming relocation/semi-retirement. It was a bit sad to see the base in its current state of disrepair-my old dormitory and chow hall were in pretty sad shape.)

I still have copies of the tiger talk Base paper and pics of the F-105 and F-86 being unloaded when we got them on base. We unloaded them with forklifts. Col Brooks DCM, Col Profit,Col Jamerson Wing Commander, were all there. Left Alex in 1992 and moved to Fla where I'm a Veteran Rep for the State. And Have ran into people here that were also at Engalnd AFB. So Drop me a line. The f-105 on display was flown by the Safety Officer at EAFB during Vietnam before they took it out of service. We both arrived at EAFB together. And I won't forget his face when we unloaded it off our truck.    Howard.
