I worked on F 111’s in Mountain Home, Idaho.

For full story of my CO ( Col Coltman and Capt Brett) google " f-111 Ranger 23". Lost in 72 and found some 30 yesrs later.
FWIW: Was down in Gold Beach today. Rogue is packed full of fishing boats right now all circling a big dredge barge, its dump barge and the tug boat. Only 50 feet wide between barge and jetty and little boats are dodging them and the 20' huge clamshell digger while in operation! its nuts.
