In this photo, the Huns are being refueled at the fuel pit. All aircraft were refueled prior to being towed back to the revetments. There are three aircraft -- tail numbers VS 087, 863, and 101 -- from my squadron, the 612th TFS. Note by Peter Rob: If a photo includes more than one aircraft with an identifiable number, a copy of the photo is saved, one for each aircraft. This procedure lets you search for pictures by aircraft number. Note by Brushface: 56-3101, 612 Det 1, Phan Rang, RVN, survived to become QF 340 Target Drone and was destroyed on 5 November, 1991, Tyndall AFB.

This photo shows "our" aircraft "101" (56-3101) in the hangar. From left to right: The pilot (Captain Harry C. Brown) and me (Bob Guier) in front of 101. Note by Brushface: 56-3101, 612 Det 1, Phan Rang, RVN, survived to become QF 340 Target Drone and was destroyed on 5 November, 1991, Tyndall AFB. The covered revetments were not there when I left in August, 1968, so they were added after I left. We only had open air revetments. Apparently, since Charlie started using Phan Rang for target practice and dropping as much as they could, the wheels, decided that putting the aircraft in a covered area might be a good idea.

This photo shows me (Bob Guier) recovering 56-3101 for a "quick-turn" on a "max effort" day after the 35th TFW lost a pilot. (I'm not sure who the pilot was, but he may have been Joe Smith of the 612th TFS.)
