Yup.

 

Actually it wasn't really "FMC" issues it was upgrades that the Gs were getting at the time, the Air Force didn't want to send Buffs into the fight without the upgrade. The Buff guys fought as 'Provisinal Wings' the largest was at Diego, where my father flew from, the unit was made up mostly of Loring and Castle guys, there were even crew chiefs and bomb loaders volunteering from Minot and KI Sawyer.

 

The plane that crashed on finals to Diego was a Loring BUFF with a Castle crew.

 

Wurtsmith guys were in charge of the KTO and operated out of Jeddah, but most of the A/C they used were Loring and Castle birds crewed by Wurtsmith guys, even some Loring/Castle Grifiths guys. After the first night of the war 6 B-52s that took off from DG recovered in Jeddah and were used by the guys there.

 

The paint scheme showed on Desert Storm B-52s doesn't actually represent who they were flying for, or who was flying them. This whole thing is where the "Air Expeditionary Force" came from.
