Officially
attached to 36 TFW/USAFE 4 February – 15 March
I have a note mentioning that all these F-4s (apart from 65-0764) 'diverted
to Lakenheath 6/2/73 (BARG) ' & ' Also 24 diverted to Torrejon
5/2/73 (unknown serials)' but now that I have started putting this
together, there seems to be some inconstancies with my other info.
Anyone with a clearer picture or
copies of BARG FOR 1973?

According
to USAF official records the 7 TFS was attached to 86 TFW/USAFE between
2 March– 4 April 1973 and deployed to RAMSTEIN!
This I think is a mistake all other references stated Bitburg & Hahn
as the CRESTED CAP bases for this year.
