Bush & Kerry to be in Portland at the same time, Kerry will also go to Jackson County (of all places) and it's said he'll make a "media only" (not sure how that's supposed to make people want to vote for him) appearance here in Eugene. Or maybe he plans to just wave from the caboose as he passes through those places - may as well in Jackson County where he'll never win, or Eugene where his throng of supporters would line up on their knees at his command, but will vote for him no matter what because they hate Bush for reasons altogether unclear even to themselves.
I'd like to know where and when he'll be in Eugene so I don't stumble upon the event on accident, I don't think my stomach could handle a direct view of his carcass.
#22. The 498th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, The "Geiger Tigers" adopted the Red White and Blue with Stars as their last Squadron markings as they were then operating At Hamilton Field, California(having moved from Gieger Field, Washington). The 498th at that point transformed into the 84th F.I.S. keeping those colors throughout the rest of their history and moved early on to Castle A.F.B., California and maintaining a small detachment(Alert)at George A.F.B., Southern California. The painting depicts either a late 498th or 84th F.I.S. F-106A intercepting a Soviet TU-142 "Bear" reconnaisance aircraft over Alaska during either a "White Shoes" or "College Shoes"(depending on time frame) deployment to Alaska to augment the 317th F.I.S. F-102s' based at Elmendorf and it's associated satellite Air Defense Alert fields in the Alaskan Wilderness.
