Mediterranean Assault 2007
Cannon Field , San Antonio, TX

December 7-8, 2007 - Mediterranean Assault
Cannon Field

A field day/ reenactment with members of Austin-based Company G and the Alamo Liaison Squadron turning Cannon Field into a World War 2 battleground to commemorate Pearl Harbor, recreate skirmishes fought by Texas soldiers, honor wartime survivors of the 36th “Texas” Infantry Division, demonstrate the use of Liaison Aircraft and, in the process, provide Central and South Texas students and families with an up-close, meaningful educational activity.

Texas Military Forces Museum Living History Detachment (also known as "Company G") represents an element of the 36th Division's 141st Infantry Regiment. G Co. numbers about 75 volunteer living historians and includes members who: developed the "Island Assault" presentations for the National Museum of the Pacific War (formerly the Admiral Nimitz Center) in Fredericksburg; spearheaded the international effort in 2004 to recreate the Iwo Jima battle; and now staff the Close Assault program at Camp Mabry, the Texas National Guard Headquarters in Austin. This event is the first cooperation between the two groups and will be the first of its type in San Antonio.

Company G will be peforming a version of their "Close Assault 1944" program during the event, with the Alamo Liaison Squadron hosting the event, displaying our aircraft, and weather permitting, demonstrating L-Bird operations. We are currently lining up speakers, vendors, and sponsors.

Mediterranean Assault will also tenatively be the debut for the reprint of Box Seat Over Hell.

2006 Airfest - November
Lackland AFB, San Antonio, TX

The Alamo Liaison Squadron flew the L-2M N87787 a few miles from home for the annual airshow that the local San Antonio Air Force bases host. We were placed near show-center and enjoyed talking with the crowd and explaining the history of the Liaison Aircraft.

A slow moment

A busier moment - the older gentleman was a P-38 pilot in World War Two

 

2006 Airsho - October
Midland, TX

One of the ALS members took L-2M N87787 to the annual Airsho - hosted by the Commemorative Air Force in Midland, TX. The flight to Midland took approximately five hours with two fuel stops. The aircraft and pilot arrived safely and enjoyed the opportunity to represent the Alamo Liaison Squadron at one of the premier airshows around. In 2006 the CAF started a new tradition of having the lighter aircraft fly a "Dawn Patrol" over the city. Below are some sample photos from the event. Click on photo for larger version.
