Comments: I am the curator for the Lackland Museum Program in San Antonio, TX. We are in search of a point of contact with any member of the 6147th TACS that was stationed in Taegu AB Korea between Aug-Sept 1950. Our research centers around an T-6D Mosquito(serial number 42-86011) that we hope someone might have images or information on "why it was dropped from service on Sept 1950"?

Comments: Does anyone have any info on 1st Lt. Kenneth Colby from Chelsea, Vermont? Service #0-774948. He flew T-6's in Korea and I assume he was in the 6147th. He was in Korea from about October of 1951 until May or June of 1952. He was my Dad and we are trying to get info for a special service this Memorial Day and can get lots of info from the gov't about his WW2 service but nothing about Korea. He broke his wrist and was in a hospital in Japan for a short time also.

I would enjoy hearing from anyone who know him during his service in Korea. I would also like to learn more about the crash in which he died.

comments:
I joined the 6147th TAC Squadron on Aug 12, 1950 while at Taegu (K2) and
served with the squadron as a Radio Repairman until early May 1951.
We were at Taegu (K2), Pusan (K1), Kimpo Field (K12), Seoul Muncipal
(K14), Pyongyang (K24) and P'yongtaek (K6). I have not had contact
with anyone from the Squadron for many, many years.
During this time period the Squadron earned 5 battle stars to the Korean
Service medal and a Presidential Unit Citation. It is hard to believe
this was almost 50 years ago, and outside of us who served, no one
seems to remember.
Memories
I have some very strong recollections of the war and some events which
happened are very comical in retrospect. I just found out from George
Hanrahan that our first CO, Col. Merrill Carlton is still with us.
I sent him a letter last Monday. I doubt that he will remember me, but
he was a very good man and a good Commander. All he ever asked of us
was the best we had to give. I would still gladly serve under him.
I seem to remember one incident at Kimpo Field. When we first got
there the field was pretty much in ruin. In one of the hangars which
was partially destroyed there were the wrecks of two YAK-9's. This was
also the first time I had ever seen the British Fury. At that time I
think that was the largest fighter I had ever seen.
They used shotgun type cartridges to start the engine As I recall, when
we moved from Kimpo over to Seoul Municipal, about 14 miles, we had two
T-6's that had damage and we could not fly them, so one of the Mech's
decided, " We'll just taxi them down the highway." And that is what we
did.
I seem to remember that about half way there we came upon a column of
British armor, Centurion Tanks to be exact. When the Limey's saw us
they just pulled off the road and were all sitting on their tanks when
we went by. I could almost read their mind. "What are these bloody
Yanks going to do next?"
There is one memory that is still very vivid in my mind, and that is
the children of war. I doubt that those memories will ever fade away.
It is bad enough that men must fight a war, but I still think about the
little children that suffered there.
