Oldbaldguy Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I remember seeing silver Buffs equipped with Hound Dogs sitting alert at Robins AFB in Georgia as late as 1968. You just could drive by and look at ‘em. Those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got the big 48th scale HPH B-52 in the stash- The Daco book is pretty good if you (like me) are going to build an H model- cheers P Sabrejet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Worked the Dog model at U-Tapao RTNB during the Vietnam War. I believe it was 108, iron bombs in a full load. We sent them out in "cells" of 3 as 3 provided the "optimum" mutual ECM coverage. It was hard, hot work, the temp. inside the aircraft regularly read 105-110 degrees, when your stepped out into the 95-100 degree outside air it felt like air conditioning! Barry Rockie Yarwood, D.B.
