73rd Troop Carrier Squadron: Michael L. Satterfield, Son of Sgt. Johnnie Satterfield (Deceased) of the 73rd TCS authored this site to recognize and honor his father. Mike is trying to identify all the great Airmen in the picture of the 73rd TCS, and also the identity of the Crew that served with my dad (Crew picture is posted under CREW, just above this link.) To view the 73rd TCS picture, open the next link called "73rd TCS" and review the Squadron picture closely. Please if anyone out there served in the 73rd TCS, please send me your name and where you are located on the picture. I will post your name on the your picture. I already have several Airman identified.
