Taken at Ladd AFB, Alaska, on Monday, September 17, 1956, the men of the 18th pose with one of their F-89s on one of the few remaining days before the base is buried in snow.
Great to know you have an original photo. Based on the age of said photo – and your dad’s – he was a very young man when it was taken. I wish him many more happy years.

My dad is in this picture! Wing on left side. Going strong at 91 with fond memories of his time in Alaska.
