I was assinged to the 5th Bomb Wing at Minot NoDak! The 5th Bomb Wing was comprised of the 23rd Bomb Squadron, (B-52Hs) and the 907th Air Refueling Squadron, (KC-135s).

The 23rd Bomb Squadron Patch commemorates the pecasetome use of their bombs to divert the flow of lava when Mauna Loa erupted and threatened Hilo!

23rd Bomb Squadron

The 23rd flew B-17Es during the first two years of WWII then converted to B-24s.

Minot NoDak

I knew some cops that were stationed there. This was back in the late 60s.
