16 Special Operations Squadron Yearbook 1980-1981

Back in the early 80's the Squadron had a true "Fraternity" feel and a bunch of folks got together (Led by AC-130 Flight Engineer CMSgt Don Beardsley) and worked their tails off and created an incredible Yearbook of the entire squadron which still brings fond memories every time it is opened.  I got several request to scan this yearbook and offer it up on the website to share the memories and of course, give a chance for the folks that have long misplaced their Yearbook as well as the families of these brave men and women that were part of this incredible team!  

I was lucky enough to be part of this great group of warriors and wanted to share the good times with the world. 

I am placing the pages as they appeared with special enlargements of the awesome cartoons drawn by AC-130 Illuminator Operator (IO) Mike McCarthy.
