No. USAF-61794
Her is a listing
that Andy Hernandez has of Matador launches. I know it is not
complete and ask that you give any listings you may have to us,
so he can include them in the 586th TMG Website. As I
recall, the "S Bird" was the the configuration they
went to Germany with
as opposed to the "Red Bird" which was the original
Matador, and the one
we started trianing on at Patrick.
