"Stopped by last Fall but museum not open. My wife's uncle Arthur Wintheiser, a private pilot, stuntman was a part of the airport history late 30's, 1940's and would like to learn more about museum on next visit during visiting hours and about any part he played in airport history. Art was involved with gov't in developing air mail service in upper mid-west. He also performed in air shows. His brother and my father-in -law walked wings and performed flying a bi-plane. do not know much more but did get an article and picture from a lady at museum some years ago. Appreciate hearing from you. May not be able to visit until November 2007. Thank you. will continue perusing site info. Great! John"

"Many happy memories for this graduate of Class 62F ... the first all-jet Pilot Training class at Webb. Half of our Basic class went to Randolph as the prototype T-38 class ... I stayed behind in the 'T-Bird' and went on to fly C-135s with MATS at Travis AFB. Instructor in Primary was Hayes Bryan, Basic was Jim Fletcher - both excellent instructors and good men. Looking forward to attending a reunion someday."

"I graduated from UPT at Webb in Feb 1970 with Class 70-05 and went on to spend five years on active duty, including one year in Thailand flying the EC-121R. Upon returning to the US, I was assigned to Loring AFB, ME and flew the KC-135A. When my tour of duty in the Air Force was complete, I went into commercial aviation and recently retired as an American Airlines Captain on the B767/757. I enjoyed my time at Webb very much and look forward to hearing from any of my old pilot training class buddies."

"I went through Jr. and Sr. High School in Big Spring and occasionally visited Webb AFB. A neighbor, Vernon Dudley was an Webb Instructor Pilot. At Texas Tech in 1957, Vernon was finishing his degree In engineering, under the AF "Bootstrap" program. He flew at Reese AFB to qualify for flight pay, and had me wear my AFROTC uniform, and took me flying in a TB-25. What a thrill for an 18 year old kid! My UPT was in 64H at Willie. One day I was assigned to fly some parts to Webb, in a fiberglass box called "the coffin", installed in the back seat. I never shut down the engine, and taxied to the runway to fly back home. That was my only contact with Webb AFB as a military officer. I come back to Big Spring for High Schools reunions, and hope to visit Hangar 25 one day. You have a very nice web site. "

"Awesome! My Dad lives in Big Spring and served in Vietnam. I love to see stuff like this. Being a military brat I grew up around it. It always reminds me that my freedom was bought with a price. "

"My dad, Robert F. Escalle, was a cadet at Webb in Class 53-C. He graduated on May 1, 1953. He flew the T-28A Trojan and T-33 Shooting Star jet trainer. This site is a great way to remember those who served at Webb and not forget its heritage."

"I was a graduate of UPT Class 73-06. I have many fond memories of my time at Big Spring. I went on to fly the F-111A and after leaving the Air Force I worked as a Test Conductor for the F-18, AV8B, F-117, U2, and currently the B2 Spirit at Edwards AFB. My son John R. was born on Christmas Day 1972 at Webb AFB Hospital! He went on to graduate from the US Air Force Academy, class of 1995. I own a Mooney M20C and hope to, someday, land on the runway where I first learned to fly! "

" Spent six weeks at Webb in the summer of 1958 at ROTC summer camp. I remember marching in the hot sun with our "pith" helmets. Salt pill dispenser next to each water fountain. Orientation flight in a T-33. A very lovely evening near graduation at the country club with some of the Big Springs young girls in attendance. Attended a nice little Lutheran church in town. Some Air Force Academy cadets came one week and inspected our barracks, checking that they could bounce a quarter off our tightly made beds. Quite an experience and I fondly remember Big Springs. Retired from the Air Force in 1981. Would like to visit Hanger 25 some day."
