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.
