• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

I happened upon a picture of a F-4E, with the 181st TFG, based at Hulman Field, Terre Haute, IN. I was with them only a brief time in the late 1970s. At the time they were transitioning to Phantoms from F-100s. They sent me to USAF Egress Mech school at Chanute AFB. Not long after that I went back on active duty with the USN.

Chanute was where I did my Egress Training too. Graduated in August of 66' and a month later I was at Wheelus AFB in Libya for two years on the F-100C/F models.
 
Hey, I don't suppose either of you guys ever ran into a guy, Tim (Steve) Bynum, a USAF F-4 and later F-15 egress tech? I knew him from high school and later worked with him for about 10 years. I Know, that USN and USAF are huge (uuuuuge) organizations. Just curious.

Steve I worked the 100's for those first two years, then to Perrin AFB, Texas with 102's for the rest of my Active time. It was 16yrs (1986) before I hooked up again as a Reservist at Carswell on the F-4 until 91' when we finally got the F-16's. Lots of Egress folks in that time but that name isn't familiar. I did work with some guys at Al Jaber (Kuwait) in 2001 that were from Mountain Home (F-15's), not sure if he would have still been in at that time though.

Thanks, Ed. I knew it would be remote that you would have run into him. I believe, IIRC, after training he spent much of his time at Luke. I haven't spoken to him since I retired. He could really spin a yarn about his experiences. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Cheers,

Steve
