Tulsa Huns.....

[CSomers611]

Working on some D Huns of the 125th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Oklahoma Air National Guard based at Tulsa International Airport from 1973 to 1978.

During their Hun operational period, the 125th had (3) different tail stripe colors; Red, Green, and Blue. I spoke with a former 125th member who believed the color represented the Flight the aircraft was assigned to but he wasn't sure. He stated this is his belief as he recalled seeing the different color stripes on the 125th TFS at the same time....I'm still trying to work out the Tail #'s and Tail Stripes associated with them.

Still researching and tweaking as I go so it'll be a bit before these are complete.

this is what i have for serials 

55-2933, 55-2807, 56-3101(green), 56-3173(red), 56-3191(red), 56-3241(red), 56-3298(blue), 56-2979(green), 56-3234*, 56-3405*, 56-3705*, 56-3168*, 56-2924*, 55-3826

***F***

56-3889(green), 56-3760, 56-3846*,56-3854*

the ones with asterisk are presumed based on the dates they went to AMARC but not photo confirmed, the first two were id'd in text as Tulsa birds but no photos.

not a lot of conclusive data, but i remember now its why i didnt include them (since they did stick it out to '78)

 

and yes, when you see multiple colors on ANG birds its for the flight.

Thank you for this, I'll add these to my excel sheet. It's hard to find official information showing every AC assigned to a unit but I'll give it a go!

I'll see your Hun and raise you an Oscar Duece

you know, every mention of the 105th Wing NY ANG points out that in 1985 they went from the smallest aircraft in the USAF (O-2A) to the largest (C-5A). but somehow, i cannot find one single damn pic of a NYANG Skymaster!!!

i even tried a musuem in that area. they had no pics either (their volunteers only went back to the C-5 days)
