Every pilot and
navigator coming to the FB-111A program were assigned to the
4007th Combat Crew Training Squadron (later redesigned 530th
CCTS) at Carswell AFB and later Plattsburgh AFB, NY. The
mission of the CCTS was to provide highly-qualified,
combat-ready aircrew members to the FB-111A Bombardment
Squadrons in the Strategic Air Command.
The Hall of Fame
includes the names of all officers that went through the
program at Plattsburgh AFB and is divided in four parts; the
Initial Qualification Course, the Central Flight Instructor
Course, the Requal/Diff Course and the Senior Staff Officers
Qualification Course.
When the FB-111A
program started at Carswell AFB, Instructor Pilots and
Instructor Navigators were members of the 9th BS, and were
tasked to train newcomers to the FB. View a photo of 9th
Bombardment Squadron's instructor cadre in January
1971.
