Comment by Pete Felts: If I'm not mistaken, the back-seater with Yeager is Capt. Louis Batson. We followed the 1st FDS to Moron with the 21st FDS. Actually, by then we were considered a TFS but still under the 413th TFW. We didn't become the 31st TFW until 1959. I went to Aviano with the 306th in 1960. (And yes,56-3950 did have "City of Barstow" painted on the nose in red background with white letters.)
