Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin
Good evening !
Can anyone give me a time-frame, when Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin joined 22nd FBW/FDW Squadron (36th FBW) at Bitburg, Germany, and when he was released from this organisation to another assignment ?. Thank you very much ! Horst Weber |

Re: Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin
Leendert !
Thanks for the reply. In the web, I noticed this site. By my information, the transition from F-86 to F-100 at the 36th FDW started in April 1956 and Aldrin joined the 22nd FDS in 1956. Did he ever flew an F-86 for 22nd FDW in Bitburg or did he already start in Bitburg completlely with F-100 ? Best regards ! Horst Weber |

A few years later in 1969 Aldrin had walked on the moon. His mother's maiden name was Moon! Forgot her first name. Edward L. Hsiao |

Gentlemen,
In 2023 Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was promoted to brigadier general USAF says Wikipedia. He is over 90 years of age and has a clean shaven face. Clean shaven mean no facial hair. Edward L. Hsiao |
