Dewain C. Vick

I was stationed at Beale AFB 1969-1970 and assigned to PSD.

I had the honor of suiting up Col Vick and his pilot Col Estes for many of their missions

They were a little high maintenance,wanting things a certain way. However considering the missions they flew and the speed and altitude we always made sure all was perfect so that they could complete their mission and come home to their loved ones

Dewain, We buried Col. Thomas L. Johnson Thursday at Arlington. We remained in contact for 50 years after I left the AF.

Uncle Dewain, This is what we have always called you from the begin. I know we didn't keep in touch like families should but we always talked about what you did. This is Ronnie, Helen Marie's son,"Baby". We just found out and are very sad. I would like give are deepest wishes of thoughts for your loss. We always remember the stories from my mom and uncle Dewain. I still have the photo's of the SR71 given by uncle Dewain. We will always be connected because my birthday is also November 7th.We...

I was assigned to PSD at Beale AFB from 1970 - 1974. I had the honor of suiting up the crew of Estes and Vick during the training missions and overseas missions as they flew the fastest aircraft the SR-71.

I know they both have left us, however I am sure they are still are crew members on their new journey

God Bless
