My response to him was there are more examples of successful escapes from damaged aircraft than from damaged subs....... <br /> <br />F-4s in TX... My guesses would be........RF4Cs out of Bergstrom AFB in Austin, F4C/Es that replaced the F101s with TANG at Ellington AFB in Houston, or F4Js with the reserve VF squadron out of NAS Dallas. None of which exist anymore........of course <br />[/quote] 301st TFW @ Carswell AFB, Fort Worth--now a JRB. A Reserve TAC unit at an active SAC Base. TAC and SAC aren't around anymore. But we did keep the skies of North Texas safe from communists, socialists, fascists, geologists, psychologists, chemists, polygamists, balloonists (incident on the rifle range!), and a large array of other ists. They fly F-16s now. As far as the sub races go...Lake Holbrook near Mineola, TX!!!
