This web site was originally set up to recognize the enlisted personnel of 3506th and the 3508th Flightline Maintenance Squadron, and later decided to allow any and all enlisted personnel from the base to be included as "The Greenville Airmen" The below Cadets pictures were added to show the readers of this web-site what our mission was at my discretion and was offered by the listed owner These are some of the Cadets we
supported during our assignment at Greenville. The T-28 was phased
out about 1953 or 1954 and the new
era of trainers were introduced as the first jet trainer.
The new trainer was an F-80
fighter aircraft, modified with a rear seat configeration for
training.
Also the wing tip drop tanks were modified to fit to the tip of the wing, rather than the lower part of the wing.
