Thank you very much for the picture. It means a great deal to me. I
recognized the aircraft as the RF-101C on display at the Air Force Museum at
Wright-Patterson AFB in Fairborn, OH.
My father worked on the development of the RF-101 in the AF Avionics
Laboratory at Wright Field during the 50’s. He was very proud of the
development and implementation teams and the aircraft’s capabilities and
accomplishments over Cuba and in SE Asia. He spent a lot of time keeping me
out of the ejection seat when I was about 5 years old! He was an old cold
warrior who left us last spring. He is remembered in the Avionics
Laboratory the Wall of Fame for his contributions to aerial and space based
reconnaissance.
Thanks again for the trip down memory lane.
