On November 26 1962, Kennedy visited Homestead for an inspection and to award citations to the units that had participated during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Chief among these was the 363rd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing whose RF-101’s can be seen in the distant right background. Closer to view, F-102’s of the 325th and 326th Fighter Interceptor Squadron get the once over by Kennedy. Note the pilot wearing his full pressure suit.
