72-0285 —
I took this photo in September 1976 shortly after being assigned to the 454th Flying Training Squadron, Mather AFB, CA. One of 19 T-43A's delivered to the USAF in 1974. These 19 aircraft were built from 1971 to 1973 keeping the 737 line open as the type was not selling. WN got a sweet deal on four white tails at Boeing in 1971 and the rest is history.

Bob, did you by any chance ever know Capt. Ron Crump or Capt. Frank Caceres? When I was a kid we lived about ten miles of the end of the runway. I remember the T-29's constantly over our house.
chinaninearea51, I did not know them. Only a few of the T-29 pilots transitioned to the T-43. There was a Capt. Mike Crump in the squadron. He went to Andrews AFB in 1979 with two T-43s that are transferred to the Air National Guard. Last I heard he went to work for USair.
