K5IKL 966 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 When I was in AF ROTC at New Mexico State field trips to Holloman (60 miles away) were made quite often. On one trip they took us out to the sled track to view the sled. Didn't get to see it run though (darn). That's where I saw the F-104 up close and personal. This was '58 - '60 time frame.
