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

According his own website it was 1956-1959.

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 !

Gentlemen,

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

According to this link:

he started at Bitburg in August, 1956 and was a F-100 pilot. He was at Bitburg until May, 1959.
