I just was given a \"Surprise\" by my Nephew of a \"25th Fighter Squadron \"Coin.\"
He said that one of the Pilots gave it to him at the Air show and remembered me from the \"England AFB\" days and so did some of the maintainers .
He worked on the P-3's so anyone have any ideas?

Goose, I'm not sure what you're asking :?: Are you saying the pilot and maintainers at the air show who gave him the coin were a P-3 crew?

Dice,

My Nephew is a T/M on P-3's and the A-10's from Osan AB came last year to open house and he talked to the Pilots and Crew Dawgs with the 25th and a few knew me from the \"Old Days\" and one of the \"Pilots Knew me from EAFB\" and the 76th TFS and gave him the \"Coin\" to give to me.
He told me it was the \"Squadron CO\" but couldn't remember his name, and some of the CrewDawgs remember 166's door and knew me ,so I'll was trying to figure out Who it could possibly be?
The \"Pilot\" who gave it to him knew things that not alot of folks would of known.

Its a nice coin I just wanted thank them.

Thats all Dice,

Goose

I remember a Lt Stokes from England AFB, was his first Assignment getting there around 88-89, and the call sign is familiar.
He was a good pilot, I even think somewhere I have a picture with his name in the \"Block\".

I'll have to look.
Why Weasel ?

He was the 25th FS Commander in 2006. That may have been who gave your nephew the coin.
