ikar Posted July 3, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2011 These were at the Security Police training area along with several F-84F aircraft that replaced large metal Xs used to represent a flightline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorsairAce Posted July 3, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 3, 2011 I think many of them are still there at the Lackland AF Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikar Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted July 3, 2011 There were several F-84s scattered around Lackland the weren't used by the police along with a F-105B outside my basic barracks, a F-104 outside another barracks near the crypto school, and a RF-105 at the museum. I haven't been to Lackland since the late 70s so I couldn't tell you about the condition of any of these aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted July 4, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2011 I was at Lackland this winter... most of the aircraft look to have been refurbished recently, espeically the ones in the Vietnam air park. The Kingcobra and the Twin Mustang I believe have different paint jobs on them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikar Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted July 4, 2011 Ity's nice to see that they got a "D" model B.U.F.F. and are keeping it up. I wish someone would maintain the one we have at Orlando airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted July 4, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 4, 2011 Yeah the BUFF there I remember seeing some years ago, she was moved around from place to place , and sad that she's being neglected in the upkeep, especially the base there years ago being a "52 " one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even recall the old base sign out by the main road way back , wish I'd had the sense to have taken photos of it and the 52's when I had the chance (Doh !!!!)
