Can anyone identify the people, especially the inspecting colonel? So far, people have said that he is not Colonel Eldy E. Crowell, Colonel Bertie or Colonel Urban, also the van colors put it in the early '60s. That leaves Colonel Homer J. Phoenix. - Help

(Edit note: At first I though this picture to fuzzy to publish, but then I thought, ain't this classic Mob? Notice the tie-down chains for a headrest. After preparing for deployment, sometimes working over 24 hours straight, then loading the planes, then the only time to sleep before landing and setting up. I thought, this would trigger some memories.) - Don Devine
