This photograph of some of the pilots of the 199th Fighter Squadron taken in the early 1960s.  The F-102 Delta Daggers flow by the squadron had “Hawaii Air Guard” markings until the late 60s.

Two recognizable faces are Tai “Mynah” Hong, second from the left in the front row; and Edward “Rick” Richardson, sixth from the right in the back row.
