kyhistorian01 Posted December 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2009 I have had this photo since the Mid 1990s. If my memory is correct it is a photo sent to me by a Special Operations unit when I wrote to them, but I am not for sure anymore. Its a nice photo though.

Steindaddie Posted December 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 16, 2009 Keflavik Iceland. The photo dates early-mid 90's. The F-15 is from the 57th FS and carries the Keflavik tailcode "IS" - they deactivated in '95. The HH-60 helicopters were assigned to Keflavik's 56th Rescue Squadron starting in 1992. With those dates at hand, the pic is from 1992-95. The KC-135 and HC-130 aircraft were not based in Iceland but served on a rotational basis. ~Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to place the photo back with the correspondence and patch they sent me. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ashooter Posted December 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 16, 2009 SAC ran the European Tanker Task Force and we usually had a tanker in Iceland to hit aircraft crossing the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
