Anything after my tenure, I cannot say, but likely none, since Elmer had his for quite awhile, til loosing it!
They had the same look as the helipad, in my "photo", to the left. That was painted in early 1980, and lasted a year, until Col "Weird Wally" Wallenborn (sp?), who was either at Group, or JFK, complained about. Something about him being a DP in WWII, and likening the skull to the SS...blah, blah, blah...and demanded it be removed. So, only the skull was painted over. What a putz.
I was told..... there was a collection of plates, general plates, stars........ generals that came out to view "training" left without their "stars".
