Bob Miller  Las Vegas, Nevada	I was an Aviation Cadet in Basic Flight Training stationed at Goodfellow AFB from Dec 1954 to Jun 1955 when we graduated a 2nd/Lt. We flew the T-28A and later the TB-25J. One TB-25L. More memorable than the flying was the Naylor Hotel downtown San Angelo - and for reasons that cannot be discussed here. They were glorious days flying at tree top level across West Texas. Formation flying like raids on Japan. Last B-25 I flew was 44-31812. 05/23/2008 @ 20:51 [ref: 7817]
Reggie Masters  , Colorado	Does anyone remember my father, Leo Paulic, who was a flight instructor there during WWII? 02/07/2008 @ 13:14 [ref: 6752]
Eric Hansen  San Angelo, Texas	Mr. Brown: No, it is not named after your ancestor. It is named after a pilot from San Angelo who was shot down during World War I. Most Air Force bases (and other military installations) are named after military members who have distinguished themselves in the line of duty, and have some pertinent tie to the installation or region for which is their namesake. 09/20/2006 @ 10:40 [ref: 5278]

BARRY EVANS  Phoenix, Arizona	OK... I just saw the pic of the RF4-C, 69-0367... It is MY jet! Even has the Zweibrucken AB tail flash! I am SO excited about finding her! It's been more than 30 years since I last saw her... to whoever made it happen... THANK YOU! I'll now have to find a way to make a road trip and go see her. Thank You! 08/09/2006 @ 22:57 [ref: 5178]
Brian Thorn  San Angelo, Texas	Ronald... No, the Air Force and Navy versions of the F-4 were largely the same, excepting some changes in the cockpit. The tailhook was a feature of all Phantoms regardless of customer. The upswept wingtips were an aerodynamic feature common to all Phantoms, that's also where the Navy wingtips folded. 03/19/2006 @ 14:05 [ref: 4892]
Brian Thorn  San Angelo, Texas	The F-100 static display was removed in 2003. I believe the aircraft was relocated to a base in Oklahoma. Goodfellow received an EC-47 static display aircraft in front of the new headquarters building in 2005. 02/05/2006 @ 12:28 [ref: 4770]
Ronald Darnell  San Angelo, Texas	When I go in and out the GAFB I see the F-4 on its stand, and I wonder, why the tail hook, and why the fold in the wings, could this of been a navy version ? 02/19/2005 @ 12:14 [ref: 3828]
