John Ferguson's "Mission Launch" Photos


John Ferguson brought some outstanding slides to Chuck Galloway in March to be transferred to disc. They sent them to me and below is the first installment of the wonderful photos that he took when he was with the 225th. He remembers that he served with Ben Perez in Germany after his tour in Vietnam. John now lives in Indiana.

John recently wrote in the OV-1.com Guestbook: “I was with the 225th in 69-70. I was an Imagery Interpreter. Was stationed at the IR ground station, known as the "Red Haze Inn." Wayne “Stick" Sitkowitz was the TO assigned. I also flew right seat on several photo, IR, and flight follow missions. I'd like to hear from other IIs that were at the 225th.”

I put 46 of his pictures into the slide show below. (There will be more put on the Observer periodically … Chuck transferred about 170 total!)

Thanks John!
