"Have just discovered this Webb AFB site. My older Brother, 1st Lt. James G. Webb,was the Lead Bombardier on the Flight of B-24's of which the Lead B-24 was the only aircraft shot down over Wale Island on May 17,1944. My recollection of Big Sproings,TX was of just arriving there as an Air Corp Cadet on the date that WWII ended. Of course, our arrival at that point in time was even more graciously received under those circumstances. I saw this WebbAFB mentioned within the Legion Magazine and was researaching how this AFB's name originated. Does anyone know, and, if so please inform,ok?-CCW."

"Got a notice of the reunion this year. I sure hope I can make it, it has been53 years since I left Webb to go overseas To Chitose Japan. I was in the electric shop in field maintenance and the shop chief was a civilian named Martin Scaggs. I live in Georgia now and at 75 I still work 4 days a week at a local ACE hardware in Perry , Georgia."

"I reported for Pilot Training in Aug of '73, new wife in tow and excited about jet pilot training. I was in class 75-01/02, we moved to the 75-02 designation because of the gas shortage, remember 55 mph max speed limits. I was a little bit strange in that I was already a Vietnam Veteran helicopter pilot before going to West Point and getting comissioned in the USAF. I was there for the transition to all foreign training (Security Assistance Training Program SATP). After graduation I stayed as a tweet (T-37) Instructor. Taught only foreign students for my nearly 3 years as an instructor. Both of our kids were born in West TX, one in Big Spring one in Odessa. When the base closed, 60 of us piled into one room while they read the assignments alphabetically. I was one of the happy ones, I got an F-4 with training at MacDill AFB, FL. I flew the F-4 for 3 years (Seymour Johnson AFB, NC & Kunsan AB Korea) then the OV-10 for 3 years (Sembach AB Germany and George AFB CA) then F-16 for 6 years, training at MacDill then Hahn AB Germany, back to MacDill as an Instructor. Retired in 1993 in Tampa as a Lt Col. What a great adventure!"

"I was stationed at Webb.from late1973 to Jan.1975.I worked on the flight line ,I was a T-37 crew chief A flight the T-37's with the white tails.I am looking for a pilot who filmed me launching him out,it would be pretty cool to see and to make available to the museum here.I am also looking for any info on Mike Ferguson from motor pool who I hung out he was from Calif. and rode a z-1 900 kaws.I was from NewYork and rode a 550 Honda.Here is another list of people i am looking for Steve Farina he was also from NY. and had a orange 340 duster,Kenny Lytwyn from NJ. he had a red corvair and rode a dirt bike,James Russell McCormick from Calif.and Earnest Castaneda who had a Thai wife.These are some of the faces I would like to see at the reunions they were the back bone of the operations here with out us all of the pilots would not of gotten their wings.Enough of the past I am now living in Big Spring actually in Sand Springs,I moved here from NY. after retiring from the NYPD I was a New York City Police Officer after being a foot cop in Brooklyn I became a member of the Scuba Team which included Air Sea Rescue,and finished up and retired from the Air National Guard after putting in 20 yrs .in several different units including NJANG along with NYANG,AF.RES,NY.ARMY NG.and NY.NAVY RES.I also became famous all over Texas and am known as" The NY.HOT DOG MAN"from two episodes on a well known tv show The Texas Country Reporter.Bob Phillips did a story about a hot dog stand I had in Sand Springs and the other show he sent me to a school to try and make me a TEXAN! Recently I was comparing pictures with Gov. Perry of Webb and he had pictures of the same planes at the same air show as me,I could have been a crew chief for him and launched him out who knew! Looking forward to helping the under staffed help at the museum to get some artifacts labeled. ,"

"I was a member of the first AFROTC summer encampment during the summer of 1963. The high point of my four week camp was a ride in a T-37 trainer on the second weekend. I enjoyed the visits to the T-37, T-38 and F-104 aircraft that populated the flightline during that time. It was my second visit to Webb AFB, actually. My first was on an AFROTC base visitation in 1959 when the base was home to T-33 trainers and F-86L interceptors. I completed a 41-year career as a USAF member who served in the ANG, active Air Force, Reserve, and civil service. I enjoyed my visit to the museum on July 16, 2009 and hope to be back. Thank you for maintaining this small but excellent museum for all of us."

"Dear Hanger 25 Museum Concerning the Webb AFB Reunion-I find no place on the registration form for bombardiers. Is this for Pilots only? I was in the last graduating class of bombardiers in September of 1945, Class 415. I have lost my yearbook and my officers bars. Does anyone out there have an extra set of bars they would part with?

"I just came across this web site. I served at Webb from 1966-1970 as a jet engine mechanic with the 3560th FMS. Seeing these pictures brings back many memories of my youth. I do have a question thou. I'm trying to figure out which hanger is hangar 25. I worked out of,,I beleive a hangar known as T-2 or T-4..I can't remember if thats even the correct designation. We removed and repaired ,or replaced the engines in the T-38's and T-37's. I remember my hangar wasn't far from the motor pool or the engine shop. Isn't aging great,,,lol."
