I arrived in Takhli the day before Thanksgiving and was assigned to the 333rd TFS. The crew chief that was assigned to F- 105 ( Tail # 772 ) was returning to the states the first of December and I was put with him to learn the aircraft and take over as head crew chief when he left. It was a great aircraft to crew and all the personnel were first rate. Major Swafford was the pilot assigned to the aircraft, she had two Migs to her credit and the major called the aircraft " MY HOT MAMA " .

I would like to hear from personnel assigned to the 333rd TFS that were their between Nov.68 and Nov. 69
