| John Geiling I believe my grandfather was a mechanic in this organization. I would like to get confirmation if possible. He just passed away last weekend. I am currently station in Area I with the U.S. Army trying to carry on the family tradition. Thanks for any information you can provide. |

| Dad was a pilot in the 6147th Hi to all! My late father, K.D. Brooks, was a T-6 pilot in the 4167th between Jan \'53 and Jan 54. All I know about his experience there is that he got an Article 15 for unauthorized low flight which clipped some power/communications lines and almost cost his life (probably) and the airplane. Dad survived his youth (thankfully) and lived a good life, passing away at the age of 81 in Colorado Springs. He retired from the Air Force in 1971 as a Lt. Col. after also serving in RVN as a Huey pilot with the Green Hornet Squadron in \'67 and \'68. Would enjoy hearing from anyone that might have known him and can possibly fill in details about his time there. Thanks to the webmaster for making this site possible! |

| 6147th K-47 ChunChon Korea I served with the Air Police as a War Dog handler from April 1953 to Feb. 1954. We patroled the base perimeter every night, all weather. A job nobody else wanted. Eight of us, all volunteers. The area Provost Marshal was our commanding officer, Lt Brewer. When he left, Lt Mills got the job. Three of us dog men have stayed in touch through the years, Hap Pleas and Roy Hurst and myself. Hap passed away a couple months ago, so Roy and I remain. We don;t know if any of the others are still with us. I have a few old and faded pictures of those days at K-47. DWH |

| Minneapolis/St. Paul area FACs I am the director for an annual air show held in the Twin Cities. We always have many aviation VIPs at our show, including veterans from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Some of these VIPs are famous, most are not. We are looking for FACs to take part in our 2008 show.

| Richard F. Webb Cpl AF12285096 While talking with a coworker about war experiences, I decided to play a hunch and do a google search for my father, Richard F. Webb, who served in Korea and was shot point blank in the head and survived it. The only hit I got was for a message board concerning a group called “the Skeeters: The following follow up from Dick Souza, clarifies the issue: The name of the individual that you are trying to come up with is Richard F Webb Cpl AF12285096 He was PFC when you and Watts shipped to 3d Comm Sq out of the 35th Fighter Intcp Wing 13 Aug 1950 Now Webb was RO and his Mechanic was a young trooper by the name of Rollo D Hibbs who got killed Nov 1950 and believe Webb was left for dead by the Chinks due to that steel plate . Webb obtained plate from bike accident. Rollo was just out of Scott AFB and got him self sent over and teamed with now Gen Robert Mathias (Ret) who got wounded and Webb also getting wounded. The other FAC whose name escapes me right now (believe in AR) got wounded and became POW. Hibbs is buried in Corydon. IN and comes from a long line of military family. I communicate with his brother off and on. As for Richard Webb. He retired from the US Air Force believe it or not with plate and all to the rank of MSgt. What I can surmise is that he lived up to 17 July 1987 and passed on somewhere in FL. His homeof record was NY I have been trying to contact his kin to findout if he ever received his awarded Silver Star as all the others mentioned in this correspondence did. For the most part, Mr. Souza has it right. However, there are a couple discrepancies I can clear up. Dad did indeed pass away on 7/17/87, but in Geneva, NY, where he and my mother had been living since his retirement from the AF in 1975. After Korea, Dad was grounded and retrained in Personal Affairs, where he made a career of making sure that the families of deceased servicemen received all the benefits to which they were entitled. At the time of his retirement he was NCOIC of Personal Affairs at Holloman AFB, NM, home of the 49th TFW. After leaving active duty he went to work for the VAMC in Canandaigua, NY, working in the Veteran’s Services office doing similar work, this time for the vets themselves. I myself have seen his Silver Star (although I didn’t even know of its existence until many years after his death; he never spoke of his own wartime experiences). If you are in contact with Dick Souza, please pass this information on to him, as it sounds like he’d want to know. Stephen R Webb Correction Officer Seneca County Sheriff’s Office |
