Hello everyone!!! I'm glad I found this great web site!!!!!!  I was on Dog flight from March 1974 to July 1976.  It Brings back some great memories; football and softball games, midnight flicks, the old blue buses, the weekly sneak preview, the crotch club, the great steak house, Gypsy Joe and Tarzan. I hope to find some long lost friends Wild Blue, Queenie, Sugarbear, Steve Perry..... I could go on and on.  Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!!

We had a great time at KCDI from Fall '71 until Dec '74.  Wonderful memories of ball games, parties in the Charlie Flight dayroom, and the radio-thons "Catch Us If You Can!!"  Retired from AF in '77 and spent 25 years as a high school guidance counselor, retirning again last summer.

 

Working on the reunion here in Chattanooga.  There'll be lots of things to do and we're going to have a really great time.  Did out your old photo's and contact any of the old gang.  The more, the merrier.

Hi to all.  I was on Charlie for 2 yrs working the wideband position and then went to days with Chip LeBrecht to lay tile in the compound for the last 6 months there. Seems we had a problem with SSgt.Manning(not TSgt Manning)who left and came back as Lt. Manning.  Who remembers threatening not to play ball and he was trying to order us to play?  Well, that's how we ended up on the day ladies shift.  Enough about him.  Another trivia question.  Who remembers Freddie the waiter at the NCO Club? He used to cash in the chits for $ if you needed it. I have quite a few pix of Charlie people and activities if anyone wants them.

X1 Dec 74-Jul 76; roller skated all over; in compound 3-27-75 day shift when earthquake hit; pal'ed around with Tom Morice, Billy Ray, Doug Dovre (who passed away April 03), Bonnie Beining, Rose Carling, Kim Comnick; did 1st TDY after ops shutdown in spring 75 to Crete (17 of us went), then another TDY to Italy before coming home;  I remember Lauren coming down our aisle in slightly shorter skirts, heels, and that perfume!   There's a memory. 

I was at KCDI in Charlie Flight from July 72 until December 75.  I worked in DF until we were shut down.  I'm living in Ada, Oklahoma and work as an insurance adjuster.  I'm still married to Debbie and she is a CPA.  We lived in Yalova and spent many hours waiting for and riding the "wonderful" blue bus.  Our son Ryan, who was born in Turkey, is married and also lives in Ada. Ryan is our only child. We have two granddaughters Abby age four and Gabby who will be ten in April.

member of Charlie Flight from June 1969 through November 1970.  worked as Flight Admin Clerk and later was "Tear Rack" guy.  Wonderfulmemories of Karamursel and Charlie Flight.

Romanian 203 in Charlie Flight from 01/69 to 07/70.  Only jock in the squirrel cage.  Played on Charlie Flight's first tackle footballteam in '69.  Lost 1 game to Det 63 and blew everyone else away for base championship.  Learned to ski in Uludag (sp) and ran to the Bul on almost every break, usually with Gary LIndenmuth (Bulgarian 203).  For $20.00 we could take the Yalova ferry to Istanbul, ride a city bus to the Sultan Ahmet district, stay in the Buyuk Aya Sofia (sp) hotel for three nights and come back with change left.  Remember when the first WAF contingent arrived at Karamursel.  They moved into the dorm across the quad from our barracks and the next day the Bx sold out of binoculars.  Thanks to Jim Comeaux (aka Perry) our titless WAF for alerting me to this site.  Brings back way more memories than I can talk about here.
