The 48th FIS TAZLANGLIAN DEVIL painted on the "Goat Hill" TDY building at Tyndall AFB, FL.

"The 48th FIS was known as the 'Tazlanglian Devils'. I know, I know; it don't sound right, but that's the way Lt Col Dick Stultz, Taz's author, named the mascot -- probably had something to do with copyright infringement. I remember that huge, flaming red character painted on the weapons building wall. It had an abnormally large set of... hanging from between its legs as it stood there grimacing and clutching in one of its hands a devil's trident. Lot's of wives complained, even to high ranking officials at TAC Hqs., but Taz endured. If that wasn't enough, we even had a Taz Suit ( complete with the aforementioned armament) that we put someone in at squadron parties, and at random times he would come 'swing'n in' to add his own special contribution to the fun."

I remember this on the wall at Langley. I guess I never really looked at it too close because I never saw the kahunas hanging down. Man do I feel stupid now 40 years later. Lots of good memories from Langley and some not so good. I was born in Hampton and it was great to go home again. My Grandfather was employed by NASA when I was growing up and we spent a lot of time on the base but never in the 48th until I returned as an adult in the Air Force.
