This undated photograph shows Edward “Easy” Pickering and Ronald Biho and was taken early in the F-4 Phantom era because of the paint configuration.

Easy was likely a Capt or maybe a Maj at the time and was one of the full-time 199th Fighter Squadron pilot cadre before going off to Hawaiian Airlines.

Ron worked full-time in the public affairs office and was a great photographer. This was probably an orientation flight to get flight photographs. Many of the photographs in Retiree News posts were taken by Ron.

Unfortunately, Easy passed on April 29, 2003 at age 56. He had retired from the HIANG and Hawaiian Airlines. 

Thanks for Michael “Boss” Tice for providing comments about Easy.
