It was a day shift which always had a PR Policeman work front gate with Base Police when avaliable. Sgt. Reyes taught us a lot about local customs and was a Great Guy.

    Thanks for the Pics. I remember a trip in about 1963 from James Connally AFB to Ramey in a T-29C upon which I served as a navigator instructor. That night I played bingo at the O’club and won a go-cart which we loaded on the plane and took it home.
