Acknowledgement

This reunion and dedication was the hard work of the 537^th, whose former members took the time, effort, and initiative to collect the money necessary to repaint the aircraft on static display at Hill AFB, Utah.  Aircraft 63-9757 never looked better and it now has a beautiful place of rest from its arduous combat duty.
