1953 First Team
We now have the Thunderbid patch/logo----but Kanaga is no longer with us (resigned from the Air Force). Left to right----A.D. Brown (spare)--Bill Pattillo--me--Buck Pattillo--and Bob McCormick. Mac is now flying the slot position. Thanks to Richard C. Catledge (Smokey)
This photo was also one of the first taken. We had the aircraft and helmets painted, but as yet, no patch/logo. From left to right----Bob Kanaga--Buck Pattillo--me--Bill Pattillo and Bob McCormick. Bill Pattillo was alway right wing, Buck was left wing, Kanaga was slot, and McCormick was the spare pilot. Thanks to Richard C. Catledge (Smokey)
