Memories For This Unit
Best Friends LaVern Severson William E. Knapp William Preston Art Dryden	Best Moment Transitioning into the B-57. Flights up to 48,000 ft. were awesome in that era.

Worst Moment Because the B-57 B & C models were new, there were lots of maintenance delays and flight cancellations. We were suppose to finish our training in July but were held over until early September before we could finish all the requirements.
