Great stuff, my first contact with the 457th was in Tripoli, Lybia. My dad was the supply Sgt when we arrived in Lybia in 1950. he was promoted to 1st Sgt sometime between then and 1955. He then brought us back to Tinker AFB, Midwest City, OK I have aSq. mug, patch, and a helmut crom 1950-55, F-86 era.

Brilliant photos.... Hope to get some like that at the International Air Tattoo later this year....

This is the sort of stuff I like - great work and much more interesting than looking at a leaf in a puddle. Out of interest what lens are you using?
