    Fred Salvidge comments (August 2014): and> I was the crew chief on that airplane (called Mr. Lucky) and had one our pilots in the 309TFS photograph it one day on a mission. It was taken during the latter part of my tour at Tuy Hoa and the aircraft subsequently went from the 309th over to the 416th (I believe) right after I left in December 1969. The aircraft was used mostly on Misty missions.
