Photo by then A/2c Jim Calarese from Pat's World via Bill Hamilton

Winter 1959/1960 photo of 58-0784 with 27th FIS Loring AFB ME markings showing the old & new versions of 27th FIS flight gear. Note the peculiar arrangement of what looks like four red infra-red seeking GAR-2A missiles (real or dummies?) leaning against the fuselage. The GAR-2A missile nomenclature was later changed to AIM-4C in 1963. Also, the white MB-1 rocket designation was later changed to AIR-2A in ~ 1962. If anyone knows more of the history on this ~ 50 year old photo, please e-mail me....Erv.....14 Mar 10
