Greetings:
This Web Site is dedicated to the Men and Women who served at the 67th
Reconnaissance Squadron at Yokota AB Japan, from 1957 to 1971.
Many of us consider our assignment to the 67th Reconnaissance Technical
Squadron (RTS) as the best job we ever had. Moreover, many of us feel
that we were performing critical duties at critical times and were a key
part of very significant developments in the area of reconnaissance
systems that laid the foundation for current DoD and national
capabilities. Although many of the people involved in these activities
ultimately went on to bigger and better things, most still take immense
pleasure in the accomplishments of the 67th RTS, and their role therein.
This Website provides an opportunity to renew acquaintances, rekindle
old friendships, relive fond memories, and examine ways to let the rest
of the world know about the accomplishments of the 67th RTS and the
unsung heroes who contributed so much with so little recognition.
