[ARC5] This Is Interesting!

[K5MYJ]

In 1958 I was at Bergstrom AFB, Austin, Tx.

Our primary aircraft was the F-101 Voodoo.

But we still had a couple of T-33s and one AT-6. We also still had C-45s.

I suspect so, we also had the F9F-8T and the TV-2 (T-33) at that time also. 
The Corps keeps things for along time, wouldn't be surprised if they still 
had a few tucked away somewhere.
