"Great Website. My Dad Elliot "Boomer" Bloomberg was a UPT Student there in 1962 in the second UPT Class to fly the T-38. He finished UPT as part of Project New Life at Craig AFB with Class 64A. Dad passed away in 1997. As kids we were very young when he retired. So, we don't remember much about him being in the Air Force. We are a writing a biography about him. So, we can tell his flying stories to our Grand Kids. We would love to hear from anyone that was there in the early 60's that can provide us any assistance as to life at UPT and at Webb in that time frame. Flying has had such an impact on our family over the years. After I served in the military, I became an Airline Transport Pilot and now train pilots to fly business jets for CAE SimuFlite in Dallas, Texas. My brothers are wanting to become pilots also. If you are ever in the DFW area drop us a line. "

"I graduated with Class 66A and went on to fly the C-141 at Travis AFB. Later transitioned into the F-100D at Luke and then served a year in Viet Nam at Bien Hoa. The folks at Big Spring and Texas in general were some of the friendliest we have ever met. We retired from the Air Force in 1986. Best Wishes!! "

"I was assigned to Big Spring Army Air Field from April l943 to June l945 as Physical Training and Parachute Landing Training Officer, I made a demonstration parachute jump over the field in June l944 and landed on the main runway. The photo of my parachute jump and landing have been donated to the Hanger 25 museum, along with several copies of the base newspaper. I plan to attend the reunion in October 2005, I was very impressed with the last reunion at Hanger 25."

"Dont have a Hanger 25 story or picture, but as a boy I lived just off base from Webb Airforce Base. In fact my mom Dorothy James worked on base at the finance center. I was just looking at sights connected to Big Springs when I came across the Hanger 25. What you have done is very nice in preserving its proud history."
