taken over the North Dakota farmlands in 1962. Lt/Col Jacksel M. Broughton leads, followed by the 2 "B" Models flying # 2 & 3. [Bill Moore collection, 5th FIS pilot]

"I was flying the #5 (out of position). I can't remember the other pilots, but this was a real challenge formation. The pilots all got a copy of the picture. Broughton (ex Thunderbird Leader) was the best lead I ever flew wing with. I had 5 years and 1,000 hours in the [F-106] bird: 5th FIS (Minot) & 95 FIS (Dover). Got my M-2 pin in March, 1960."
