William Tell, 1958

“William Tell”, the US Air Force’s great air-to-air competition, has been held since the 1950s at sunny Tyndall AFB, Florida. Our F-86 pilots depicted above have traveled to said base for the 1958 meet and are obviously looking forward to the various aerial events which will unfold in the coming days. Their home base is Ramstein, Germany; they are members of the 526th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and represent the United States Air Forces in Europe. Note the custom ballcaps and snazzy flight suits made for the competition.
