March 24, 2009 Regarding Chief Maksyumk's message about the legacy coins... I have one left in my shadow box. Wish I could help you out but those are rare collector's items by now. Speaking of, and without getting into a rigorous debate, I personally prefer the old stripes -- they represented more. Of course, I'm a 1967 -- 1997 retiree, so I'm not biased, am I?

Febuary 11, 2009 I'm looking to find an older Chief coin with the old stripes. I want it for my shadow box. If anyone knows where I can buy one please let me know via email. Thanks for anything you may be able to do! Retired CMSgt Allen Maksyumk My e-mail:maksymuk@mchsi.com
January 30, 2009 Interesting Site. Did not see any names on the message board that I could recall. I was a Communicator from 1948-1975. Belong to the AF Communicators & Air Traffic Controllers Association, where we have many ex comm & atc Chiefs. Retired CMSgt
