I worked on the Deuce in the Phillipines and we deployed to Tan Son Nhut, Vietnam for air defense of the Saigon area. This aircraft was a joy to maintain and was a great looking aircraft in the air. I had the privelege of flying in the Tf-102 at Tinker AFB where it was used as a chase plane for flight tests of B-52′s coming out of modifications. Sadly I was reassigned to Clark Air Base in the P.I. and never flew after my orientation flight. I also deployed to Bangkok, Thailand with the Deuce where we were on alert, best duty I ever had.
