Need proof of trainin in Air Force Base in VA in 1969
"Daryl Hunt" wrote in message ... He might have been mistaken about his location. Look into Wicheta Field, TX as well. IN 69-70, I do know they were doing Chopper training for Foriegn Troops at that time. I don't know if there was any maintenance training but there was assuredly flight training. Wicheta Field? Perhaps you mean Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, TX? |

Perhaps you mean Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, TX? There was assuredly Undergraduate Pilot Training at Sheppard in '69-70, but no rotary wing. The USAF helicopter training operation was moving (as someone pointed out) from Stead AFB which was deactivating to Ft. Wolters (as I mentioned) and Ft. Rucker, where the Army became the sole source for USAF/USA rotary wing qualification. Sheppard might have been an operational training site for USAF helicopters, but I don't know for sure. HH-3 and HC-53 was done AFAIK at Hurlburt. I don't think HH-43 "Pedro" was in the inventory any longer. UH-1 training had been Stead and then Rucker.

(Those were the missile silo service helicopters.) You're mistaken. USAF helicopter pilot training moved from Stead to Sheppard in late 1965. Stead AFB closed the following year. In 1969 all USAF helicopter training was done at Sheppard AFB. Beginning in late 1970 instruction was provided to USAF students at Fort Wolters in the UH-1, they would then go to Sheppard for combat crew training. In mid 1971 the USAF ceased helicopter instruction at Sheppard, and USAF students began training at Fort Rucker. http://usafhpa.org/histschool.html |

(Those were the missile silo service helicopters.) I believe there were a few "Foriegn" trainees. The running joke was that they sometimes didn't bother to land before the pilot exits. Who they were and where they came from, I have no idea. To tell you the truth, it sounds more like Iranians the way they were acting. |

And there were quite a few foriegn student pilots as well. Now, you can't make me believe that our trainees were that bad, now can you |
