A project began in 2007 in search of the 497th Fighter Interceptor Squadron who served together at Geiger Field, Spokane, WA and Torrejon Air Base, Madrid, Spain more than fifty years ago.  It is our pleasure to post the results of our efforts.  Hopefully some who visit our website will have additional information on other members.  For requests or questions you may contact Marion "Newt" Newton at newt497@suddenlink.net
