Dear Jeff,
I was stationed at Cannon AFB, NM 1961 -1964.  As a Weapons Mechanic, 46250, I went TDY to Turkey with the 522nd Commanded by Major John J. Voll (Out top ace in the Mediterranean Theater of Operation, )Saudi Arabia with the 481 Commanded by Col Woody, Iran with the 27th TFW  & Florida three times with during the Cuban Crisis. 

The  F-100 or "Lead Sled" as we called it was a well used and beautiful plane.  I saw a picture once of a friend of mine who was a ANG Pilot with the SDANG of a formation a "Huns" in front of Mt. Rushmore.

 
I recall many of the airman and pilots that I worked with Sgt. Bobby Lord, Sgt. Alvie Reynolds, Sgt Rainwater, A1c Register, A1C Herzog, Sgt Sylvanus S. Jones, Capt Bradley, Murgatroyd, Wilt, Van Domlin, Elliot,

Lt. Col.  (Captain when I knew him) Paul Cohagen.  Col Cohagen was the test pilot for the 27th wing.  He was also assigned to the 481st.   I believe he was the favorite pilot of all of us.  This picture was taken in Vietnam about 1965.  Notice the 500# bombs on the type one pylon (inboard station on the wing)Pete Byam
